"Israel's Intensifying Offensive in Rafah Sparks International Concern"

Israel plans to continue full-scale military operations in Gaza for another six to eight weeks, with a focus on mounting a ground invasion of the southern city of Rafah to significantly damage Hamas' remaining capabilities. World leaders fear a humanitarian catastrophe as more than a million Palestinian civilians are trapped in the city, with little to no options for evacuation. Despite international pressure, Israel remains determined to proceed with the assault, while Hamas vows to continue fighting. Efforts to secure a ceasefire and release hostages have so far been unsuccessful, and the prospect of a lasting peace solution remains remote.
