Israel will start a major military operation in Rafah at any time. This was announced by the country's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Times of Israel reported the information on Monday (February 12).

The Prime Minister of Israel said, we will start a ground operation in Rafah very soon. We have already planned for this purpose. He said that Israel has decided how the operation will be conducted and who will be the target.

Earlier, Netanyahu said – those who say, under no circumstances should we enter Rafah, are basically telling us to lose the war.

Incidentally, on Monday (February 12) at least 63 Palestinians lost their lives in the Rafah area due to the shelling of the Israeli Defense Forces. After October 7, Israel's ongoing aggression in Gaza has exceeded 28,000.
