Israel is preparing for a significant military operation in Rafah, Gaza, aiming to dismantle Hamas's stronghold in the area. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are planning to evacuate over a million Palestinian civilians from Rafah to nearby areas such as Khan Younis, where 40,000 tents are being erected to accommodate the displaced population. The operation, expected to last six weeks, involves coordination with the United States and Arab nations. Satellite imagery and reports confirm the construction of tent encampments and the mobilization of reserve brigades as part of the preparations. The international community, including aid groups and NGOs, is closely monitoring the situation, concerned about the humanitarian implications of the offensive. Additionally, Egyptian President Sisi has warned of the catastrophic consequences of the operation.
