The Israeli Broadcasting Authority said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided to postpone a date that was set to carry out a ground operation and invade Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.
Israeli Channel 12 reported that the date has been postponed at this stage, and that military censorship does not allow the publication of further details regarding that.
Last week, Netanyahu said that a date had been set to carry out a ground operation in Rafah in order to “complete the elimination of the remaining Hamas brigades ” and achieve what he described as absolute victory in the war.
On the other hand, the Israeli occupation army announced yesterday, Sunday, the summoning of two brigades of reserve forces to carry out further operations in the Gaza Strip, days after it withdrew a number of combat brigades from the Strip.
The occupation army said that, based on an assessment of the situation, within days, up to two reserve brigades will be called in to carry out operational activities on the Gaza front.
Israel is dragging the region into war… and we will not be silent about its attacks
Lebanese caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati said on Monday that Israel is dragging the region into war and the international community must take notice of that and put an end to this war.
The Lebanese Prime Minister quoted Mikati as saying during a government meeting: “Although we have repeatedly stressed that we are not warmongers, the Israeli attacks cannot be tolerated, and we do not accept that our airspace is violated.”
Mikati stressed, “We place these attacks on the international community, and we always submit complaints to the Security Council in this regard.”
Earlier today, the Lebanese National News Agency reported that nine people were injured as a result of an Israeli raid that targeted a house in the town of Siddiqin last night, noting that Israeli aircraft also launched a series of raids this morning on other areas in the south of the country.
The Israeli army and the Lebanese Hezbollah group have exchanged cross-border shelling on an almost daily basis since the outbreak of war in the Gaza Strip on October 7th.
The Israeli army announced today that four soldiers were injured as a result of an explosion of unknown origin that occurred last night in the northern region near the border with Lebanon.
The army stated in a statement that the injured soldiers were transferred to the hospital to receive treatment, noting that the incident is under investigation.
