The city in southern Gaza is currently sheltering hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, with Israel's western allies warning that any assault by the IDF on the overcrowded city will result more civilian deaths.
Israel will launch an offensive into Rafah with or without a ceasefire and hostage release deal with Hamas in place, Benjamin Netanyahu vowed today, before Israel i military sources said the IDF is prepared to attack 'within 72 hours'.
Israel and Hamas are currently negotiating a cease-fire agreement meant to free hostages and bring some relief to the nearly 7-month-long war sparked by Hamas's deadly terror attack on southern Israel on October 7. In the face of mounting international pressure to end the war, Netanyahu has vowed to achieve 'total victory' in the war against Hamas
Netanyahu's vow came as cautious hopes were building on Tuesday for the Gaza truce and hostage release deal. An Israeli official told AFP the government 'will wait for answers until Wednesday night', and then 'make a decision' whether to send negotiators to Cairo.
