Please find attached an English statement by IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari on the IDF’s precise operation in Rafah:
”Hamas terrorists are waging war while embedding themselves inside and under civilian areas in Rafah — Because Hamas wants Gazan civilians to be caught in the crossfire.
We don’t.
We’re protecting Gazan civilians in Rafah from being a layer of protection for Hamas, by encouraging them to temporarily evacuate to humanitarian areas like we’ve done with around 1 million civilians in Rafah until now who have moved out of harm’s way.”
