Defense Minister Yoav Galant said that the attack on the Palestinian city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip “will begin soon.”

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs warned on Friday that any Israeli military operation in Rafah “could lead to a massacre” and paralyze humanitarian work throughout the Gaza Strip.
