IDF Prepared Humanitarian Zones for Rafah Evacuees
(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - The IDF's Rafah operation is proceeding slowly and deliberately due to sensitivities with the U.S. and Egypt. The IDF has been pleasantly surprised by the rapid evacuation of residents from the area to designated humanitarian zones prepared in advance. The IDF has repaired water lines to the zones, and field hospitals, supplies of food and medicine have been transferred to the zones. In the Rafah area, IDF "forces have killed over 130 terrorists, located dozens of tunnels, and several significant underground routes that are currently being investigated and destroyed," the military said. Israel has established a coordination mechanism with the Egyptian military during the operation, which has been functioning well on a daily basis. IDF artillery batteries are exercising extreme caution and precision due to the proximity to Egypt.
