Gallant tells US Israel has 'duty' to expand Rafah ground assault

The Israeli army on Monday said its planned expanded offensive in Gaza, approved by the country’s security cabinet, included “moving most of the population” of the Palestinian territory.

“The operation will include a broad attack, including moving most of the population of the Gaza Strip. This is in order to protect them in a sterile area away from Hamas,” army spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin said.
