Hamas says that a military attack on Rafah will not be a picnic for Israeli soldiers.
The Islamic Resistance Movement in Palestine states that the Israeli army faces a very difficult task in attacking Rafah, and if they engage in such an operation, they will face tough resistance from Hamas.
Hamas officials have declared that they are fully prepared to defend Palestinians and that an attack on Rafah will not be a picnic for Israeli soldiers.
Israel has asked the residents of eastern Rafah to evacuate the area, as the international community has warned of a major humanitarian disaster in the event of an Israeli military ground invasion of this part of southern Gaza, which houses over a million displaced people.
