Israel 'advances' operation in Rafah, carries out offensive actions across southern Lebanon
Israel on Wednesday carried out 'offensive actions' in Lebanon after launching cross-border attacks on Hamas ally Hezbollah. It was announced that there was. Lebanese tanks bomb the Gaza Strip.
Since the Israeli-Hamas war broke out on October 7, there have been near-daily gun battles between Lebanon's Iranian-backed powerhouse Hezbollah and the Israeli military, rather than a broader conflict erupting. There are growing concerns about this.
Concerns are growing in the war-torn Gaza Strip over Israeli plans to attack the southern Gaza town of Rafah. 1.5 million people have been evacuated to Rafah, many of them living in makeshift camps.
Aid groups have warned that any invasion would be catastrophic for civilians. But government spokesman David Mensah said Israel was "pushing ahead" with its operation in Rafah, which Israeli authorities described as the "last" major Hamas militant group where militants may be holding hostages. It is the base of
Hamas later released a video of an Israeli-American man among the hostages believed to have died, 34 of Israel's estimated 129 hostages in the Gaza Strip. Also on Wednesday, US President Joe Biden signed a bill authorizing $13 billion in military aid to bring Israel closer to its ally.
The bill also includes $1 billion in humanitarian aid to Gaza, with Biden demanding that Israel "immediately" deliver aid to the Palestinians.
More than 200 days after the start of a devastating war, tensions remain high in the Middle East, leading to an escalation in violence between Israel and Iran's proxies and allies in the region. There is.
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said "a lot of troops" were stationed along Israel's northern border and claimed the military had eliminated "half of Hezbollah commanders in southern Lebanon" after months of violence. . While Israel advances deeper into Lebanon, Hezbollah has stepped up rocket and drone attacks on Israeli military bases across the border.
"IDF (military) forces are currently conducting offensive operations across southern Lebanon," Gallant said, but did not say whether ground forces had crossed the border.
A spokesman for UN peacekeeping force UNIFIL told AFP that "we did not detect any ground crossings today." The Israeli army previously said it had struck around 40 Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, and Lebanese state media reported at least 13 attacks in several villages.
Nowhere safe
Early on Wednesday, hospitals and security forces in Gaza reported Israeli airstrikes in Rafah and central Nuseira refugee camps.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly insisted that attacks on Rafah will continue, despite strong opposition from humanitarian groups and countries including the United States.
Government spokesman Mensah said, ``Israel is proceeding with an operation targeting Hamas in Rafah,'' without giving a date.
The Wall Street Journal cited Egyptian officials briefed on Israel's plans that Israel would move civilians to nearby Khan Yunis over two to three weeks before deploying troops in stages. It was reported that there are plans to do so.
"There is no other safe place in the entire Gaza Strip than this area," Samer Felfel, a displaced Palestinian, told AFP in a makeshift refugee camp near the border with Egypt.
