Israel has recently initiated a military operation in Rafah, but it has been temporarily suspended while the country reviews its response. This news was reported by CNN, citing two Israeli sources. The escalation in the Eastern Mediterranean began when Iran launched 300 rockets and unmanned aerial vehicles towards Israel on Sunday night.

As a result of this military aggression, Israel had to undertake certain programs in Rafah, a city with a population of over one million. On Tuesday, Israeli military forces were actively involved in deploying rockets in specific areas of the city. An Israeli authority disclosed that further military operations are being considered for the southern city, but the exact timeline for civilian evacuation and the start of pre-war activities is still uncertain.
