FARAAN: An Egyptian security source said: “(The regime) Israel is trying to hide its military defeat by spreading fake news and lies.”
This Egyptian security source, who asked not to be named, added that what the media of the Zionist regime reported about the existence of tunnels on the border between Egypt and Gaza is not true. He added that Israel is constantly trying to cover up its military defeat by spreading lies about Rafah.
On October 7, 2023, the Palestinian resistance groups launched a surprise operation called “Al-Aqsa Storm” from Gaza (southern Palestine) against the positions of the Israeli regime. A four-day temporary truce was established between Israel and Hamas, or a pause for the exchange of prisoners between Hamas and Israel. This pause or temporary ceasefire lasted seven days and finally ended on December 10, 2023, and the Israeli regime resumed attacks on Gaza.
The war cabinet of the Israeli regime on May 6, 2024, despite international opposition, approved a ground attack on the city of Rafah, located in the south of the Gaza Strip, and since May 18, the army of this regime has occupied the Palestinian part of the Rafah crossing in the east of this city. And thus, Rafah has witnessed the Israeli regime’s heavy shelling and airstrikes in all its areas, including the residential areas, and this regime has closed the only gate of Gaza’s Palestinians to the world by attacking the Rafah crossing.
