Hamas warns of ‘tens of thousands’ of casualties if IDF enters Rafah, holds US responsible

Saudi Arabia warns Israel against launching a military operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, the last Hamas stronghold in the Strip, where more than a million displaced Palestinians are sheltering.

A statement from its foreign ministry says “the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia warns of the extremely dangerous repercussions of storming and targeting the city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip.”

It says the city is “the last refuge for hundreds of thousands of people,” and renews a call for a ceasefire.
