Israel Army Set To Evacuate 100,000 People From East Rafah

The Israeli army has announced on Monday that it will be evacuating about 100,000 people from eastern Rafah, ahead of an expected ground assault in the southern city of Gaza.
According to a statement by the World Health Organization, about 1.2 million people are currently sheltering in Rafah, with most having fled there from elsewhere in Gaza during the seven-month war between Israel and Hamas Palestinian militants.
Speaking to newsmen a military spokesperson disclosed that the evacuation is part of their plans to dismantle Hamas and get people out of harm’s way.
On Sunday, three Israeli soldiers were killed and a dozen wounded, when a barrage of rockets was fired towards the Kerem Shalom hitting soldiers who were guarding heavy machinery, tanks and bulldozers stationed in the area.
