The Pentagon briefing revealed that the U.S. and the U.K. conducted coalition strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen. Simultaneously, the Israeli military is considering a push into Rafah in Gaza amidst new strikes from Hezbollah in the north. The potential offensive in Rafah has raised questions about its inevitability.
Rafah, a town on the Egyptian border with over a million Palestinian refugees, is reportedly harboring Hamas fighters. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted at the possibility of Israeli ground forces entering Rafah for a decisive victory over Hamas. Despite international pressure against such a move, Netanyahu emphasized the need for an offensive, proposing a plan to evacuate civilians beforehand.
