Attacking Israel has become a big problem for Hamas. Responding to Hamas' attack, Israel has caused significant destruction in the Gaza Strip. The war continues, and rockets, bombs, and bullets are being fired continuously from both sides. Israel is engaged in selectively destroying the hideouts of the terrorist group. In such a situation, a report has come out, in which it has been said that Israel is continuously attacking the only route out of Gaza. Therefore, Egypt is trying to stop the mass migration of people from the Gaza Strip to its Sinai Peninsula.
Give way out
According to a news agency, two Egyptian security sources said that Israel's attack has raised concerns in Egypt. He urged Israel not to force civilians to flee to southwest Sinai but to provide them with a safe way out of the enclave.
Please try to find a solution through negotiation.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Tuesday that tensions in Gaza are very high. Egypt is trying to find a solution through dialogue with regional and international partners. At the same time, Ahmed Salem of the Sinai Foundation for Human Rights says that the Egyptian army is keeping a strict vigil near the border.
The only way Rafa
Notably, Rafah is the only crossing point into Sinai for Gaza's 2.3 million people. The rest of the densely populated Gaza Strip is surrounded by sea. At the same time, due to the blockade imposed by Egypt and Israel since 2007, strict control is maintained on the traffic on this route.
Egypt, the first Arab country to make peace with Israel, has mediated between Israel and Palestinian factions during previous conflicts in Gaza. It is also exerting pressure to stop the ongoing conflict.
Gaza's Interior Ministry says the Rafah crossing was attacked on Monday and Tuesday. The Egyptian side has also been closed, and Palestinians planning to travel to Gaza have retreated to Al Arish, the main town in North Sinai, the sources said. However, Egyptian security sources say it was opened to the public by Tuesday morning.
2100 people have died so far
The attack on Israel by the terrorist organisation Hamas is affecting the whole world. While Western countries have now supported Israel in this conflict, many countries in West Asia have supported Hamas's move. Meanwhile, more than 2100 lives have been lost so far in the competition from both sides. While more than 1200 people have died in Israel due to Hamas attacks, more than 900 people have lost their lives in the Gaza Strip due to Israeli Air Force strikes.
