IDF Pulls Forces Out of Rafah
(Jerusalem Post) Arieh O'Sullivan - The IDF pulled the bulk of its troops out of Rafah after a week-long assault against Palestinian weapons smugglers. "The operation has not ended, but because of the civilian population in the area of operation and other considerations, its time frame was restricted," Gaza commander Brig.-Gen. Shmuel Zakai said Monday. Zakai said his troops demolished 56 structures and killed 41 gunmen and 12 civilians. They also uncovered three tunnels used to smuggle arms from Egypt. The IDF did not suffer any casualties.
