"IDF Orders 40,000 Tents for Isolated Rafah Amid US Concerns"
The Israel Defense Forces are isolating Rafah in southern Gaza and preparing to evacuate its civilian population, despite international opposition to a ground operation in the last Hamas stronghold. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered 40,000 tents from China for Rafah evacuees, while the White House prefers a limited operation focused on high-value targets and securing the Gaza-Egypt border. The U.S. has contacted Israel to reschedule a canceled ministerial-level delegation to discuss alternatives to a military operation in Rafah, amid reports that military aid to Israel could be conditioned on its actions. Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo supports Israel's mission to completely defeat Hamas, and polling shows significant Israeli support for expanding military operations against Hamas to Rafah.
