WHAT HAPPENED
U.S. officials estimate that Israel has massed sufficient troops to launch a full-scale incursion into Rafah. The headline does not state that such an operation has begun.
SO WHAT?
A potential major military operation in Rafah could significantly escalate the Israel-Gaza conflict and create wider humanitarian and regional security risks.
