Israel is softening up Rafah for a ground assault
It may once have been designated as a ‘safe’ area but now Israel is softening up Rafah for a ground assault.
Airstrikes have been taking place, and as this report suggests, ground troops are likely to follow soon:
Alistair Bunkall: Israel are stepping up the bombing of Rafah in preparation for an attack.

The comment attached sarcastically to this, by Mehdi Hasan, was: “But the baby was Hamas!” As if any baby could have terrorist affiliations.
The forthcoming attack will only further entrench the following in our minds – as described by a former UK general:
October 7 will be remembered as one of the worst terrorist crimes this century.
What followed will be remembered as one of the worst State sponsored crimes this century. That it was undertaken by an alleged democracy with US/UK support is shocking.

Yes, we’re not even a quarter of the way through the 21st century and already we’re witnessing one of the worst crimes we’re likely to see in it.
Perpetrated by Israel, the one state in the world that should have known better, aided by the US and the UK, two states that should have stopped it.
