The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have deployed another division to southern Gaza, intensifying their offensive against Hamas. Overnight, heavy airstrikes targeted Rafah and Khan Younis, followed by reports of advancing ground troops.
On Monday, the IDF issued evacuation warnings for Rafah and surrounding areas, signaling an expanded military operation. Early this morning, forces from the 36th Division entered southern Gaza to support the offensive.
Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that the mission aims to clear the area of “terrorists and infrastructure” and secure more territory for Israel’s security.
