"It will happen. There is a date," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video message on Monday, referring to a planned, large-scale Israeli military offensive in Rafah, Gaza's southernmost town. He didn't elaborate or give a specific date.
In recent weeks, the Israeli prime minister has repeatedly said the town on the border with Egypt is Hamas's last stronghold and that an offensive was inevitable to declare victory over the militant group, which is listed as a terrorist organisation in many countries.
The new announcement defies fierce international criticism of the planned ground operations. Over one million Palestinians — more than half of Gaza's population — have taken refuge in the city, which has been repeatedly bombed. Rafah is also the main logistical hub for aid into Gaza from Egypt.
Meanwhile, Israel's 98 Division ground forces withdrew from Khan Younis, another southern city, on Sunday, leaving only one brigade in northern Gaza to control a newly created corridor in central Gaza that separates the north from the south. Residents of Khan Younis, displaced to Rafah, were seen going back to see what is left of the city.
