Meanwhile, the people of Rafah city are spending their days in fear that the Israeli attacks will expand further. They fear the people of Rafah will suffer the same fate as Gaza City or Khan Yunis. Israel destroyed most of the infrastructure there.
Millions of Palestinians sought refuge in Rafah, southern Gaza, after the Israeli offensive began. It is an area bordering Egypt. In the meantime, Israeli forces have destroyed northern and central Gaza. Now, ignoring all the international pressure, Israel will launch an operation in Rafah.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told family members of soldiers held hostage by Hamas in Gaza that they can only be freed through military pressure. He also said that the army is preparing for an operation in Rafah. We have already conquered northern Gaza and Khan Younis, he said, referring to the ground operation in Rafah.
Despite international pressure and various criticisms, the US government continues to send billions of dollars worth of bombs and warplanes to Israel. Meanwhile, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said that since the beginning of the conflict in Gaza, 26 of their workers have been killed by Israeli forces. Among them are 15 members who were targeted by Israeli forces while providing medical care.
15 people were killed in a sports center in an ongoing attack by Israeli forces. Hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians took refuge there.
On October 7, the Palestinian independence organization Hamas entered the border of Israel and launched a sudden attack. Israel has been attacking Gaza ever since. For more than five months, 32,623 Palestinians have lost their lives in Gaza. Besides, another 75 thousand 92 people were injured.
