Egypt on edge as Israel’s war presses more than a million Palestinians up against its border
Egypt is boosting its security presence at its border with the Gaza Strip, wary of a spillover of Israel’s war on Hamas onto its territory should the Israeli military begin its ground assault on the enclave’s southernmost city, Rafah, where more than half of Gaza’s population is sheltering just steps away from the frontier.
The Israeli army shared the above images of a liberation operation in the heart of Rafah. It shows them storming a heavily guarded apartment. To assist the ground forces, the area around the apartment is being bombarded with air strikes at the same time.
According to the plan, civilians are to be brought to 15 tent cities in the southwesternmost part of the Gaza Strip, each of which should provide temporary accommodation to around 25,000 people.
Israeli officials anticipate an offensive in Rafah on the southern Gaza Strip, where over 1.4 million Palestinians have taken refuge after being displaced by Israeli bombardment, shelling, and sniper fire. In the last 24 hours, 133 people have been killed.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbok said today that she was very concerned about Israel's announcement that it was planning a major military offensive in Rafah.
