Quick Glance: Israeli Forces Ready to Conquer Rafah in Gaza, Awaiting Government Approval

The Israel Defense Forces have completed all necessary preparations to capture the southernmost city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip and can initiate an operation once they receive government authorization, as stated by a senior Israeli defense official.

This official informed Reuters that Israel is planning to take control of Rafah, considered the final Hamas stronghold in Gaza, evacuate Palestinian civilians from the area, and launch an assault against Hamas fighters.

According to a spokesperson for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, Israel is progressing with a ground operation without specifying a timeline for the action.

Various Israeli reports indicated that top Israeli security officials traveled to Egypt on Wednesday to coordinate the planned offensive in Rafah.
