Two months after Israeli troops invaded Rafah in the Gaza Strip, the city stands as a desolate ghost town. Once home to over 2 million people, Rafah now lies abandoned, with bullet-ridden buildings and rubble-strewn streets.
Israel claims to have nearly defeated Hamas forces in Rafah, which was identified as the militant group's last stronghold in Gaza. The military offensive has resulted in significant destruction, with hundreds of militants reportedly killed along with civilian casualties.
