Israel views Rafah as a significant Hamas stronghold and deems it necessary to deploy troops as part of their strategy against the militant group. With around 1.5 million Palestinians seeking shelter in Rafah from conflicts across Gaza, the situation grows more precarious.

Netanyahu emphasizes the urgency of a “massive operation” in Rafah, urging security officials to devise a comprehensive plan covering civilian evacuation and military action to neutralize remaining Hamas units. The potential for a large-scale operation adds further complexity to an already tense geopolitical landscape.
