Former CIA chief David Petraeus said in an interview with Sky News that Israel should enter Rafah in order to destroy Hamas.
According to him, Israel must establish "fenced communities" in Gaza for the Palestinian residents, and "not make the mistakes we made in Iraq."
Similar to the position of the White House, Petraeus added that the Netanyahu government should prepare for "the day after" the war.
An apparent drone attack - claimed by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia - hit central Tel Aviv in the early hours of Friday, killing one man and slightly wounding four others, the Israeli military and emergency services said.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told his U.S. counterpart that military operations in the Gaza Strip have created conditions that would enable a hostage deal to be reached, Gallant's office said on Wednesday.
A meeting of the United Nations Security Council on the Middle East was briefly interrupted on Wednesday when two protesters stood with signs and yelled for the release of Israeli hostages held by Palestinian militants Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
