The government had announced at the weekends the regular pauses from 0500 GMT until 1600 GMT in the area from the Kerem Shalom Crossing, in southwestern Israel, to the Salah al- Din Road and therefore northwest. It later stated that regular operations may remain in Rafah, with southern Gaza as the main focus of its operation.
Residents of Rafah, where Israeli forces were heavily criticized from the ground and the atmosphere, reported on Monday, as they continued to advance deeper into the central and western regions of the country.
According to extremists and residents who reported hearing gunshots and non-stop explosions were heard from close range inside the Al-Shaboura station in the center of Rafah, Hamas-led armarmed groups were engaged in fighting.
Afterward, Lazzarini later told Reuters that UNRWA learned that there would be a wait, but that it would be done in English only, not in any other terminology, and that the government would soon follow up with a counterargument.
” For the time being, I see nothing which may qualify to the concept of a pause”, he said.
