Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that it will take time for his forces to enter Rafah.

Netanyahu confirmed that he had informed US President Joe Biden that without entering Rafah, “Israel” could not achieve victory.

Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant said that all segments of society must be recruited "in order to ensure our military superiority."

The Israeli army continues its aggression against the Gaza Strip for the 166th day in a row, leaving 31,923 dead and 74,096 injured since October 7, according to what the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Strip stated in its statistical report.

The Ministry reported that the Israeli army committed 10 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, including 104 deaths and 162 injuries to hospitals during the past 24 hours.

It confirmed that there are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them.
