Jerusalem, March 19 (Hindustan Reporter) 14 people have died in an attack by Israeli forces on Monday night in Palestine’s Rafah city. The attack created chaos in Rafah filled with refugees. At the same time, on Tuesday, Israeli forces said that in the action taken on Monday in Al-Shifa, Gaza’s largest hospital, Israel killed 50 gunmen and detained 180 suspects.

Here, America informed that the number three commander of Hamas, Marwan Issa, who planned October 7, was killed by Israel last week. Gaza health officials said three women and three children were among the 14 people who died in Rafah on Monday night.

These days, more than 1 million people are taking shelter in Rafah city after saving their lives from Israeli attacks in Gaza City and Khan Yunis in southern Gaza. The US has urged Israel to reconsider its plan for a ground attack in Rafah city bordering Egypt. If Israeli attacks intensify here, it will become difficult to provide humanitarian aid. Relief material is being delivered to Gazans from Rafah border itself.

At the same time, UN human rights chief Volker Turk said on Tuesday that Israel’s ban on humanitarian aid in Gaza would be a war crime. Israel says that four rifle battalions of Hamas and an army of rocket-making fighters are in Rafah. Complete control over Hamas can be achieved only by destroying this last fort of Hamas. But this plan of Hamas has scared the entire international community because if this happens, a large number of people of Gaza will be killed.

Meanwhile, US National Security Advisor Jack Sullivan said that Hamas commander Marwan Issa, who planned several murders and the October 7 Hamas attack, was killed by Israel last week. He was preparing to try to infiltrate again. At the same time, Israel on Tuesday targeted several Hezbollah positions in Syria’s capital Damascus with missiles. On the other hand, Syria’s Defense Ministry said that it had shot down several missiles.

A fresh round of talks has started in Israel regarding a ceasefire and the release of hostages in return. Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majid al-Ansari told a news conference on Tuesday that Qatari officials were optimistic after talks with Israel’s intelligence chief in Doha aimed at trying to broker a ceasefire. But if ground action starts in Rafah, it will block the talks.

US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan informed reporters on Monday about the phone conversation between US President Joe Biden and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. Said, Israel has been asked to explore the option of ground action in Rafah. He said that Israeli delegation will soon come to America for talks. So far 31,819 Palestinians have lost their lives in the Israeli attack.
