The Israeli army has begun asking Palestinians to evacuate the eastern neighborhoods of Rafah, those on the Israeli border , in view of a planned offensive in the southern area of the Gaza Strip.
The army itself made this known. Civilians were asked to move to an expanded humanitarian zone in the al-Mawasi and Khan Younis areas.
Israeli media reports that the War Cabinet yesterday unanimously approved the Rafah operation , according to plans prepared by the army. Military operation that should begin within a few days.
Israel announced in the last few hours that the Kerem Shalom border crossing will remain closed after a rocket fired from Gaza on Sunday fell nearby, killing three soldiers.
Meanwhile, we learn that the United States has blocked a shipment of weapons to Israel. The confirmation comes from the American National Security Council, with the clarification that "the policy of support for Israel does not change".
This is the first blockade of supplies since October 7, the day of the Hamas attack.
