The Israeli military is pushing its way further into Rafah, as prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu declares that the war will not end until all hostages are rescued. Meanwhile, the E-U has shown its support towards Cyprus after the threats made against the nation by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Israeli troops are forcing their way into the city of Rafah on the southern-most region of the Gaza Strip.
Mr Netanyahu has reiterated that Israel's operation in Gaza will not cease until their objective of rescuing the remaining hostages captured by Hamas during the October 7 raids has been achieved. Protesters are also calling for an immediate ceasefire in the enclave and the release of the remaining hostages held by Hamas.
The military announced earlier this week they would making "tactical pauses" to their operations for around 11 hours every day to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid. The group's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, said the EU nation had chosen to involve itself in the war by providing Israel with access to its military bases.“In one word and on this international platform, Cyprus should be warned that opening Cypriot bases and airports to the Israelis to target Lebanon means that the Cypriot government has become part of the war. And the resistance will deal with it as if it is part of the war.
