Netanyahu: Offensive in Rafah will come. Israel is preparing a military offensive on the city of Rafah, which borders Egypt.
Hundreds of thousands of internally displaced people have sought protection in the town in the south of the Gaza Strip. Israel responded with an offensive that has so far killed nearly 29,000 people, according to the Hamas-controlled health authority. Since the Gaza war began on October 7, more than 14,500 rockets have been fired from the coastal strip at the coastal city of Ashkelon.
