ISRAELI troops will move into Rafah immediately on the instruction of PM Benjamin Netanyahu, according to a senior Israeli defence official.
Israel's Defence Ministry has purchased 40,000 tents - each with a capacity for 10 to 12 people - to house the Palestinians relocated from Rafah ahead of the imminent assault, according to the official. Both brigades - the 679th "Yiftah" Armored Brigade and the 2nd "Carmeli" Infantry Brigade - were operating on the northern border but will soon be stationed in central Gaza,
About 700 trucks were shown in satellite imagery from Planet Labs to be in the Negev desert in the south of the Strip, along with another 120 at the northern border. Netanyahu has long warned that Israel will invade Rafah and announced last weekend: "In the coming days, we will increase the military and diplomatic pressure on Hamas because it’s the only way to release our hostages and achieve our victory."
