Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Fears of Rafah Incursion
Tensions Soaring as Israeli War on Gaza Continues
Israeli Forces Deploy More Troops Amidst Escalating Violence
As the Israeli war on Gaza intensifies, concerns are growing about a potential Israeli incursion into the southern Gazan city of Rafah, a densely populated area close to the Egyptian border. Israeli forces have already deployed additional troops to the area, exacerbating tensions and raising fears of civilian casualties.
The director-general of the Government Media Office in Gaza, Jamal al-Chobaki, reported to Al Jazeera that the death toll in Gaza has exceeded 700 Palestinians since the beginning of the Israeli offensive. Medical facilities are struggling to cope with the influx of casualties, while food and water shortages are becoming increasingly prevalent.
In a recent statement, the Israeli military announced that it would be withdrawing five combat brigades involved in the ground invasion of Gaza. This decision is seen as a potential sign that Israel may be preparing for a wider operation, including a possible incursion into Rafah. The Israeli military has stated that the troops will be regaining strength for future operations.
