The Israeli occupation army carried out incursions into Rafah on Monday and took control of the Rafah crossing from the Palestinian side, despite warnings from countries, the United Nations, and the entire world about the danger of this step and its exacerbation of the catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

One of the resistance fighters appeared chanting verse 37 of Surah An-Naml while bombarding Israeli army gatherings with mortar shells, saying: “Return to them, for we will surely come to them with soldiers whom they cannot withstand, and we will surely expel them therefrom in humiliation, and they will be debased.”
The Gaza government media office emphasized that the Israeli invasion of Rafah portends a deep humanitarian catastrophe, holding the US administration and the occupation responsible for this crisis.
The Palestinian resistance had warned the occupation against the danger of invading Rafah, while at the same time affirming its full readiness to confront the occupation army and inflict new losses inside Rafah if the option of invasion were chosen.
