Israel enters Rafah and Hamas has nowhere to run?

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-10

On October 7, 2023, Hamas raided Israel.

One of the fiercest wars in decades since the Yom Kippur War broke out, and it was also the fifth war to take place in the Gaza Strip.

Israel, which had suffered a major blow, immediately launched a retaliatory all-out land, sea and air strike against the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli army is fighting Hamas from north to south, village by village and town by town.

After the 123rd day of this conflict, Israel will break through the line and launch a strike on the city of Rafah on the Egyptian border.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flatly rejected Hamas's demand for a ceasefire on 7 February, claiming that the Israeli army would defeat Hamas within a few months.

In a televised news conference on February 7, Netanyahu said he had ordered the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to prepare for an operation in Rafah, Gaza's southernmost city, and said that the Israeli army would defeat Hamas in a few months and move towards "complete victory."

He stressed that the complete elimination of Hamas was the only option to end the war in Gaza, and warned that accepting Hamas's "absurd" ceasefire demands would not lead to the release of the hostages, but would bring another catastrophe to Israel.

In response to Netanyahu's remarks, Hamas spokesman Zuhri called it a "bluff."

Hamdan, Hamas's representative in Lebanon, said that Netanyahu's continued occupation was proof that Israel was aiming to commit genocide against Palestine.

He called on all resistance forces to continue fighting.

Adina, an earlier Israeli hostage who was released earlier, also shouted to Netanyahu: "I am very scared and very worried, if you insist on destroying Hamas, no hostage will come back alive".

The action drew widespread attention from the international community, with the United Nations saying that Israel's invasion of Rafah could amount to war crimes.

Because after Israel entered Gaza, thousands of Gazans fled to Gaza to escape the fighting, including those who recently fled the fierce fighting in Khan Younis.

CNN interviews Palestinian Abu Tool. )

Mohammed Jamal Abu Tour, a Palestinian in Rafah, told CNN that Israel had nowhere to go if they were to enter the city in southern Gaza, near the border with Egypt.

Mahmoud Khalil Amir, who fled all the way to Gaza from the Shati refugee camp in northern Gaza, said he lived in a tent near the Rafah cemetery.

"I basically slept next to the deceased," he told reporters

It feels like hell, I feel all the pain, we are no longer alive, the dead are better than us,"

They rested. But for us, our lives are tormenting, we can barely drink water, we have no money. The situation is very bad. People who previously had stable jobs and incomes are now suffering, and their lives are also difficult. ”

"It's a terrible situation. ”

It is born from the same root, so why is it too anxious to fry each other.

Israelis and Palestinians are half-brothers.

Now for various reasons, Hu regards the other party as an enemy.

The right of the Jews to exist in this land needs to be respected, and the right of Palestinians to live in this land needs to be respected.

Bloodshed can only solve people, not problems.

The entry of Israelis into Gaza will be devastating to Hamas.

But Hamas will not be completely destroyed, and they will continue to fight in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and other places.
