U.S. says it opposes the military invasion as it would have an harmful effect on civilians and hurt Israel's security
-
ISRAELI Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that a date has been set for a ground offensive in Rafah, which Israel says is one of the last Hamas strongholds in Gaza. Around 1.5 million Gazans are sheltering in the city, which has so far not experienced a large-scale Israeli ground assault.
Netanyahu did not say when the invasion would occur but reiterated that victory over Hamas militants requires entry into Rafah and the elimination of the terrorist battalions there.
It will happen-there is a date," he said in a video statement.
Reacting to the announcement, the United States said it still opposed a major Israeli assault on Rafah.
