Israel is “prepared” for the ground invasion of Rafah – NRK Urix – Foreign news and documentaries

The city of Rafah is located in the south of the Gaza Strip, next to the border with Egypt.

Israel considers the city the last stronghold of the Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip, and has made all necessary preparations to control the area, according to the spokesman.

Nyheitsbyrået wrote that the person in question is a senior commander in the Israel Defense Forces.

They say they still must obtain approval from the government and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before launching the attack.

A ground invasion was announced here, but was apparently put on hold when Israel withdrew most of its forces from southern Gaza at the beginning of the month.

At the same time, Israel is fighting a war on another front, with Hezbollah forces in southern Lebanon.

Israeli authorities told AFP that they carried out an attack in the area on Wednesday afternoon.

– There's nothing to say except that this will lead to a complete disaster.

This is what Norwalk's Palestine District Director, Christel Haraldstad, told NRK.

– There are 1.4 million people in Rafah. Israel did nothing to ensure that I could find a safe place to stay, to my knowledge.

Israel asked people to return to Khan Yunis after the army withdrew, but many have since returned, according to Haraldstad.

– What they found in Khan Yunis is ruins, and there is no other place, she says.

Rafah is eight kilometers away, a two-hour walk.

– With so many people in such a small area, an army ready to invade, and no way to escape, this is obviously disastrous.
