     On Tuesday Netanyahu vowed that Israel would proceed with an offensive on the southern city even if renewed efforts at internationally brokered talks with Hamas result in the release of hostages and a ceasefire.

     Speaking in Jerusalem, the Israeli prime minister said:

     “The idea that we will halt the war before achieving all of its goals is out of the question. We will enter Rafah and we will eliminate the Hamas battalions there – with or without a deal, in order to achieve total victory.”

     Israel has been telling Gaza residents to evacuate to the al-Mawasi “humanitarian zone”, a narrow strip of barren coastline at the southernmost end of the territory, since the war broke out in Gaza.

     Despite its designation as a safe zone by the Israeli military, al-Mawasi has not been spared the violence.
