The Israeli military on Monday ordered tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians in Rafah to evacuate, a move indicating Israel's offensive on Gaza's southmost area could be imminent.Displaced Palestinians in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip pack their belongings following an evacuation order by the Israeli army on Monday amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement.
On Sunday, as a Hamas delegation was still in Egypt hammering out the deal being offered by Israel, Israel's government announced the closure of the Qatar-based Al Jazeera news network in Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also issued a statement saying it was Hamas that blocked a deal to release hostages, saying he gave Israel's negotiating team a very broad mandate although no Israeli negotiators were sent to Cairo over the weekend.
Hours later, Hamas launched rockets from Rafah into Israel, killing three Israeli troops. Israel launched air strikes on Rafah, killing a number of civilians. Israel closed its border there with southern Gaza, where humanitarian aid had been entering. The talks, however, remain stuck around key points regarding Israeli troop withdrawal from Gaza, the return of Palestinians to their cities in the north and whether a cease-fire and release of hostages would lead to a permanent cease-fire or a temporary truce.Since late March, Israeli air strikes have hit Rafah almost daily, killing nearly 300 Palestinians, most of them women and children, according to hospital records and the Palestinian Center for Human Rights.
