Israel instructs IDF to take action in Gaza’s Rafah

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has directed Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to take action in Rafah to wipe out Hamas from the Gaza strip.

Netanyahu in a statement on Wednesday said: “We have instructed the IDF to also take action in Rafah and two camps in the centre of Gaza. The IDF will facilitate the civilian population to move away through a humanitarian corridor according to international law.”

This is the most direct statement made by an Israeli leader about the IDF plans on Rafah.
