Israel-Hamas War: Netanyahu Approves Plans for Rafah Military Operation

Israel-Hamas War

Context

Recently, Israel approved the military’s plan for an operation in Rafah, where most of the war-battered Gaza’s population has sought refuge.

Rafah is the last major population centre yet to be subjected to a ground assault during Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.

What is the Rafah Crossing?

It’s the southernmost post of exit from Gaza and borders Egypt’s Sinai peninsula.
There are only two other border crossings from and into the Gaza Strip –
- Erez is a crossing into Israel in northern Gaza for the people.
- Kerem Shalom, a solely commercial goods junction with Israel in southern Gaza.

It began when Hamas gunmen launched an unprecedented attack on Israel from Gaza – the deadliest in Israel’s history.
An Israeli military campaign has followed, which has killed thousands in the Palestinian territory.
