IDF reportedly slated in coming days to present war cabinet with detailed plan for entering Rafah
Channel 12 says in an unsourced report that the IDF will next week present the political echelon a detailed plan for entering Rafah.
The plan apparently provides for relocating citizens to other parts of south and central Gaza, but not to the north of the strip, the network says.
It also says Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and war cabinet minister Benny Gantz believe that if there is no hostage deal reached by Ramadan, which begins around March 10, the IDF should go into Rafah.
