Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has hinted that the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) are getting closer to invading Rafah, The Jerusalem Post reports.

He warned that “those who think we are delaying [the invasion of Rafah] will soon see that there is no place we cannot reach.

“Our forces can reach any place, and the conclusion is that there is no safe haven for terrorists in Gaza,” the defence minister said.

“We will bring every single person involved in the October 7 massacre to justice — we will either kill them or try them in Israel. There is no safe space, not here, not outside Gaza, not across the entire Middle East.

“We will put everyone in their place,” Gallant said.
