Israeli forces are set to shift their focus to the northern border with Lebanon as the operation in Rafah, Gaza winds down, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The fighting against Hamas in Gaza is reaching a critical stage, with Netanyahu expecting the ground operation in Rafah to be completed soon. However, he emphasized that despite this progress, the war is far from over until Hamas is completely removed from power.
In the midst of this conflict, Hezbollah has been supporting Hamas by launching missiles, rockets, and drones into northern Israel. The situation escalated following attacks in southern Israel by gunmen from Gaza, resulting in significant casualties. The toll of the military campaign in Gaza has been devastating, with over 37,620 people killed, as reported by the Hamas-run health ministry.
The upcoming shift of Israeli forces to the Lebanon border demonstrates the ongoing challenges faced in the region and the complex dynamics at play. Stay updated with the latest news and analysis on this evolving situation by subscribing to BBC News.
