Israel is sending more IDF troops into Rafah as they are preparing to widen their offensive. ABC News reports that the IDF has confirmed that they’ve sent the Commando Brigade into Rafah overnight, which is dedicated entirely to special operations, according to Wikipedia.

It doesn’t sound like they have a large offensive going yet, but they are destroying tunnels as they expect the war to widen soon.

Here’s more from ABC News:

The Israel Defense Forces’ Commando Brigade was deployed to southern Gaza’s Rafah overnight, joining the 162nd Division that has been operating in the eastern part of the city since earlier this month.

The move comes as the Israeli government is expected to approve widening the offensive there.

“Additional troops will join the ground operation in Rafah,” Israel Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant said Thursday, in remarks after completing an operational situation assessment at the Gaza border in Rafah.

“Several tunnels in the area have been destroyed by our troops and additional tunnels will be destroyed soon. This activity will intensify,” he said.

I know they are giving civilians time to leave Rafah to appease people like Biden, but I fear that Hamas members will have the chance to escape via tunnels that lead into the Sinai if they don’t widen the mission soon.
