Israel was set to begin its operation against the last Hamas battalions in the Gaza Strip this week but delayed the operation following Iran’s massive attack over the weekend, officials told CNN.
According to the report, the IDF had planned to begin dropping leaflets over Rafah today (Monday) to warn civilians of the impending operation, but ultimately did not do so.
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reported that US officials believe that Israel could retaliate against Iran in the near future, possibly even today.
There have been conflicting reports on the current state on the potential Rafah operation. Earlier today, a security source said that Israel is considering entering Rafah earlier than planned due to Hamas’s refusal to accept a deal to release the hostages.
No matter what the reports say, the job must be finished and that means going in to Rafah to eliminate the terrorist scourge.
