Egyptian officials told the Wall Street Journal that Israel is preparing to move civilians from Rafah to Khan Yunis and other areas, where it plans to set up tent shelters, food distribution centers, and medical facilities such as field hospitals.
According to the sources, the civilian evacuation operation will last about two to three weeks in coordination with the United States, Egypt, and other Arab countries such as the United Arab Emirates.
It was also reported that Israel plans to move forces to Rafah gradually and to focus on areas where it believes Hamas leaders and terrorists are hiding.
Joe Biden is expected to use Israel’s killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to wind down the war in Gaza, but in the waning months of his term the U.S. president may lack leverage to bend the Israeli leader to his will.
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, mastermind of the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that triggered the Gaza war, was killed on Thursday, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said.
Israel said on Thursday that Yahya Sinwar, the overall leader of Hamas and the architect of the Palestinian group's Oct. 7, 2023 attacks on Israeli soil, had been killed.
