Israel’s military has revealed on Wednesday that it is ready to evacuate Palestinian civilians from Rafah and assault Hamas hold-outs in the southern Gaza Strip city.
A spokesperson for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that Israel was advancing with a ground operation, although no timeline was given.
According to a defence official, Israel’s Defence Ministry had bought forty thousand tents, each with the capacity for ten to twelve people, to house Palestinians relocated from Rafah in advance of an assault.
