Israel is planning to launch a ground military operation in the Gazan city of Rafah by the middle of April or early May at the latest, the Al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Wednesday, citing Egyptian sources familiar with the matter. The sources said Israel made the final decision after its latest round of negotiations with Hamas did not succeed. The ground operation would last four to eight weeks and be preceded by the evacuation of 1.5 million civilians currently displaced in Rafah. According to the sources, Egypt is concerned that a ground operation in Rafah would not mean just an escalation of the conflict in the Gaza Strip but that it would affect the entire region.
