The "massacre" in the city of Rafah could break out at any moment, and the Israeli army was attacking the last bastion of Hamas.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a speech that Israel's victory in the military operation in Gaza is within reach, and the city of Rafah is the last bastion of the Hamas organization and is about to be conquered by the Israeli army.
The city of Rafah is located on the southwestern border of the Palestinian Gaza Strip, on the border with Egypt, and is home to more than half of the population of Gaza. There are currently more than one million Palestinians in Rafah city, most of whom have been displaced since 7 October.
Before the outbreak of the current round of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the population of Rafah was about 200,000. Some 1.9 million of Gaza's 2.3 million people have fled the north and centre to Rafah Municipality today. This has made the city of Rafah the most densely populated refugee camp in the world.
In recent days, Israel has carried out successive air strikes on the city of Rafah, causing hundreds of Palestinian casualties every day.
The Israeli army is working on a plan for the next step of operations and will continue to clear the remaining Hamas fighters in Gaza after the military operation in the city of Rafah has ended. The Israeli military said that the military operation in Gaza will not stop and may continue for several months in the future.
