(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - The IDF has succeeded in evacuating 950,000 Palestinian civilians from Rafah in only two weeks since May 6, the IDF said Monday. 30-40% of Rafah is now under IDF control, and 60-70% of the city has been completely evacuated. This is despite U.S. predictions that the civilian population could not be evacuated without a huge death toll and requiring four months to do so. The IDF has also taken control of the majority of the Philadelphi Corridor along the Egyptian border and has begun to destroy cross-border tunnels under the corridor.
