Israel-Hamas war: Rafah attack near completion, 550 terrorists killed | LiveNOW from FOX

Israel will have full control over Rafah in a “couple weeks,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Monday, as fighting in the city surpasses the 40 day mark.
The Israeli military added that at least 550 terrorist gunmen have been killed so far in the Rafah operation, during which time Israel has taken control of the border crossing with Egypt and the Philadelphi Corridor.
The IDF explained that it also found at least two dozen “long” tunnels underneath Rafah that reach the Egyptian border and discovered countless weapons, including some this week inside of a mosque.
The official war between Israel and Hamas began following the terrorist group’s surprise attack on Israel on Oct. 7, killing more than 1,200 people and leaving more than 250 people as hostages.
While discussions continue between both sides for a potential ceasefire and hostage release deal, there are no promising signs of an approval anytime soon.
All of this comes as tensions escalate in the north between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon with the US attempting to prevent an all-out war between the two.

Think twice before parachuting down on innocent kids at a concert

If they don’t know the number of casualties, how do they know the number of terrorists?

[ChickensAndGardening]

A bit of moral relativism there. Israel is definitely not "fanning the flames" in Lebanon. Hezbollah is _attacking_ Israel. IDF has no choice but to ultimately respond hard and decisively.

It is hard time for Israel... attacked from all front by neighbourhood countries. Many area in Israel burned down.

As an agnostic i must say that it's starting to look like that Israel's god is more powerful than Palestines god.

Egypt should be held accountable for letting the terrorists flee to their country

[brentderkson]

According to Hamas...550 terrorists are 400 kids 149 women and one hamas guy

Inside I feel like it should be illegal to store weapons in a religious building whether it is a Mosque, Synagogue, Church, Shrine or Temple.

Without the tunnels Hamas are falling like domino's

The IDF deserves great credit. It has been highly successful in Rafah. Many don't understand why.

The main reason is that Hamas thought that the IDF would enter Rafah in the south of the city and prepared for it, but the IDF forces surprised the terrorists and entered from the north and thus quickly took control of the Philadelphia axis and prevented the capture of the entire area and the firing of long range rockets.

Rafah was supposed to take much longer.

Israel, don't give it up, keep Gaza, land you take in war keep, obviously land for peace doesn't work. And what does the Torah and bible say in Genesis about the land promised you?, do you think it might anger Him when you give up land? He promised you
