According to the China News Service WeChat*** on the 10th local time, the Israeli army continued to launch air strikes on Rafah, a city in the central and southern Gaza Strip. Israel's Rafah strike plan has attracted the attention of the international community, and many countries have voiced their opposition on the 10th.
In Rafah, Israeli forces bombed several houses intensively, killing at least 25 people, including women and children, according to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa.
According to statistics from about 14 o'clock on the 10th, in the past 24 hours, the Israeli army launched a total of 16 attacks in the Gaza Strip, killing at least 117 Palestinians and wounding 152 others.
According to CNN, the IDF said in a statement that the Israeli army killed three members of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in Rafah on the 10th, including two senior military personnel.
An Israeli** told CNN that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hopes the Rafah crackdown will be completed before Ramadan begins on March 10.
According to Israeli media reports, Egypt said on the 10th that it would not allow Palestinians to enter Egyptian territory after large-scale displacement. Egypt's Foreign Minister Shoukry said that due to the growing population of the Rafah area, there is limited space for accommodation after the military escalation, and there is also a high risk.
Saudi Arabia and Jordan called on the UN Security Council to intervene. Jordan's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriate Safadi said on social media that the Gaza Strip cannot happen again, and the United Nations Security Council and the whole world must stop Israel's plan.
The UAE issued a statement saying that the country is deeply concerned about the possibility of a serious humanitarian crisis.
John Kirby, coordinator of strategic communications at the U.S. Commission, said the U.S. opposes the operation unless there is a credible plan to protect civilians and their lives.
EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said reports of an Israeli military attack on Rafah were alarming. This, he said, would have catastrophic consequences, exacerbate an already dire humanitarian situation and increase the number of civilians**.
According to Reuters, the Israeli military said on the 10th that they had discovered a network of hundreds of meters of underground tunnels, some of which were located below the Gaza headquarters of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), saying that this was the command center of Hamas.
The Israeli army said that the tunnel is 700 meters long and 18 meters deep, and there are forks. There are several rooms in the tunnel, one for offices, one for computers, and one for industrial battery packs. Israeli military personnel say this is one of Hamas's intelligence services, but they have long since withdrawn and cut communication cables.
The UNRWA Gaza Headquarters is located in Gaza City. The agency's commissioner-in-chief, Lazzarini, responded on social ** on the 10th that UNRWA did not know what was under the headquarters. They had been evacuated from Headquarters on 12 October last year and were therefore not aware of any activity that had taken place since their departure and were unable to confirm or otherwise respond to Israel's findings.
