IDF withdrawal of 98th Division from Khan Yunis area was completed on Sunday. Less than an hour later rockets were fired at the Eshkol Regional Council.

Second operation at Shifa Hospital also proves that absolute victory is a hollow slogan. The blood price paid by the IDF in Kahn Yunis is enormous. Hamas reorganized its people and began paying partial salaries to civil service employees on its behalf in the areas of Gaza from which the IDF withdrew. The next step, so say both the military and political level, is to enter Rafah.
