Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that a date has been set for an Israeli invasion of Rafah, Gaza.
"Today I received a detailed report on the talks in Cairo, we are constantly working to achieve our goals, first and foremost the release of all our hostages and achieving a complete victory over Hamas," Netanyahu said.
"This victory requires entry into Rafah and the elimination of the terrorist battalions there. It will happen - there is a date."
Rafah is the last stronghold of terrorist organizations, where the leaders of Hamas and Islamic Jihad are hiding and where Israeli hostages are held. From a military standpoint, control of Rafah is essential.
