On 6 May, Hamas officials revealed that Israel had launched an attack on Rafah in complete disregard of the humanitarian disaster and hostage-taking, with the aim of carrying out a military operation against Israel, with no regard for the humanitarian disaster and the hostage-taking.
On that very day, the Knesset of Israel made a resolution to launch an attack on Rafah. The Israeli armed forces also issued a statement saying that the forces would fight Hamas in Gaza until all prisoners were released. The Israeli army has called on the population in eastern Rafah to move to "humanitarian areas" as soon as possible.
According to the Xinhua news agency, local people confirmed that they had been informed by the Israeli armed forces through mobile phones and mobile phone messages that nearly 100,000 people were being evacuated east of Rafah.
According to official figures released by the United Nations, 1.2 million Palestinian refugees have been concentrated in Rafah as a result of attacks in the north and south directions of Gaza, and the United Nations has repeatedly feared that a large number of people will be killed when Israel launches attacks on Rafah.
On the other hand, UNRWA confirmed that Israel would not withdraw from Rafah even in the face of the threat of Israeli firepower, because if Israel attacked Rafah, more people would be killed, and therefore they had to do their best to ensure local relief efforts.
At the same time that Israel was attacking Rafah, other pro-Palestinian forces were also launching attacks on Israel.
On 5 May, Hamas attacked Israel and the vicinity of Gaza with more than 10 rockets and mortars, killing four Israeli servicemen and wounding 10 others.
Allah in Lebanon issued a manifesto confirming that it had also carried out a large number of rocket attacks on northern Israel on the same day.
Yemen's Houthis have also recently announced that they will attack Israeli ports and expand their targets to the Mediterranean, and that any business that trades with Israel, regardless of its country, will be attacked by the Houthis.
Iranian media reported Friday night that the U.S.-led North Atlantic Treaty Organization had sent more than 240 fighter jets to defend Israel.
Israel's attack on Rafah is bound to provoke the anger of the surrounding Palestinians, and it also indicates that the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization will continue to send troops to defend Israel in its next move.
