The Israeli Broadcasting Authority revealed that Israel is working with Egypt to find broad lines for a possible ground military operation in Rafah. The occupation army has set a time limit of one week to complete control of Khan Yunis.
The number of combat brigades has been reduced to 5, one of which is in the eastern region. The Philadelphia axis (the Salah al-Din border axis between Rafah and Egypt) has an average width of between 400 and 500 meters and a length of 14 km.
