Netanyahu announces “setting a date” for the attack on Rafah

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Monday that a date has been set to launch an attack on the city of Rafah in the far south of the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu did not specify this date, but he repeated that victory over the fighters of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) “requires entering Rafah and eliminating the Phalange there,” stressing in a video clip that “the matter will happen, a date has been set.”
