Gas- The young Palestinian man, Muhannad Qishta, does not feel -Ne of activists Rafah City And moved by That there is a close return to the cityAfter the Israeli occupation army announced its environment and completely isolated it from the other Gaza By creating “the Morag axis”, which separates it from the city Khan Yunis Neighbor.
And the occupation army announced last Saturday that it was completed by the opening of “the Morag axis”, which was previously revealed by the Hebrew newspaper “Haaretz”, last Wednesday, that the army was preparing to include the Rafah region, which constituted five lands in the sector (estimated at 365 square kilometers) for the “buffer security zone” that the prohibited palms come.
This development has reflected the reality of Rafah since the occupation invaded it on May 6, 2024 and forced around 300,000 of its residents and around a million people displaced to evacuate and move it. Since then, Rafah has not witnessed the minimum provinces of the sector, that is to say calm periods.

“Red” area
“Even during the ceasefire, Rafah was subject to his own war, and the occupation continued to control Philadelphia axis With Egypt, it is forbidden to return to more than half of the city of the city in the martyrs and the wounded. “”
According to the information “Haaretz”, which was then confirmed by military declarations and declarations by the Israeli Minister of the army Yisrael Katz, the insulating area is 75 square kilometers, located between the axes of Philadelphia and Maurlag, and includes Rafah and its neighboring districts.
Given this, a cream has a feeling of sadness and shock, but it was not surprised by what happened to his city, and he said: “The occupation provided for a malicious affair towards Rafah because he challenged the whole world and invaded him militarily.”
After the war broke out after the operation “Al -aqsa Flood” on October 7, 2023, Rafah was “its special status” by describing a cream “, and there was no calm period, and its inhabitants did not return to it as the rest of the sector even after the cease-fire agreement.”
Qeshta was with her small family, made up of 6 individuals, his parents, his brothers and sisters and their families (35 individuals), among many of those who have been moved by Rafah, and they never returned to them, because their dwellings – completely destroyed – occurred among the areas classified by the “red” occupation, adjacent to the axis of Philadelphia and prohibited his entry.
“Each rafah is now red and entirely designed, and I’m afraid that our return is not close,” explains Qishta.
Cancellation and displacement
After the announcement of Rafah’s occupation, Minister Katz said that this scene is “the last minute to withdraw Hamas, release all prisoners and end the war”. Gazans have threatened that “the army will develop and condenses soon in most of the Gaza Strip, and you will have to evacuate the combat areas”.
It is clear that what is happening in Rafah is the “voluntary movement plan for the vision of American president Donald Trump that we work to achieve”.
Say Islamic resistance movement (Hamas)In a press release, what the occupation does “to impose a reality in Rafah, forcibly move its residents and annex it to the buffer zone on the border with Sister Egypt, confirms its objective by completely insulating Gaza of its Arab depth.”
The movement considered that what is happening in Rafah is “a serious climbing, a war of genocide and a miserable attempt to record a military achievement with war crimes against humanity”.
We hear daily and from long distances, the voices of the “massive explosions” due to the blowing of the occupation, of the houses remaining north of Rafah and near “the axis of Morag” extending from the Israeli security fence to the east of the city to the coast of the sea to the west.
The fiftieth trip of Umm Youssef Matar said to Al -jazeera Net that the occupation destroyed his house in the Shaboura refugee camp during the first invasion of the city, and his family (10 individuals) has not been able, since May 2024, due to the seriousness of the situation, return.
The young man’s matar shares the feelings of sadness and anger of what Rafah was subjected to a systematic and wide destruction, which ended with its occupation and completely isolated from the sector.
“The occupation takes revenge on Rafah as if he had revenge with her, and he appears according to the voices of the huge explosions that we hear at night, day, that there is no stone on another, and the city has turned into a heap of rubble and Rubbles.”
City of Shmoukh
Until the occupation begins its last military operation, at the beginning of the month, the municipality of Rafah was estimated at more than 90%.
The mayor, Dr. Ahmed Al -Sudi, told Al -jazeera Net: “War has never stopped rafah”, and adds: “Even during the first stage of the ceasefire, the occupation continued murders and destruction, which prevented its residents from returning to more than 60% of its total area.”
According to these crimes -Al -Sufi added -less than 30% of the city’s residents decided to return to them, during the ceasefire, and they resided in their houses affected by the northern half of them, or with tentacular tents in certain areas there, until the occupation intended and evacuated it completely and annexed it to the buffer area.
Al-Sufi stressed that “the imposition of facts by force will not make legitimacy and will not reach sustainable security, but rather increase the suffering of civilians and increase instability”.
He said: “Rafah is a story of five thousand years, and geography connects east to the west. The Romans, the Pharaohs, the Assyrians and all the colonists crossed it, and everyone went and Rafah remained large, the door of the occupants.”
Why Rafah?
For his part, the director general of the government’s media office, Dr Ismail Al -Thawabta, puts the occupation of Rafah and his annexation of the buffer zone, in the context of what he says in Al -jazeera net that it is an “automatic colonial project based on forced displacement and the modification of the characteristics of geography and demography in the Gaza Strip.”
What is happening in Rafah “clearly reveals the intentions of the occupation to impose facts on the ground which serve its expansion program, and confirms its continuous implementation of the plan to separate the Gaza band from its depth and keep it under a permanent seat, by controlling the entire southern border region.”
It is – according to the constants – a direct threat for around 300,000 residents of Rafah, which were cut, the occupation shrinks them by pushing them to the unknown and treats them as “travel objectives” and by pursuing them even in tents and shelters.
According to the opinion of the Constants, the occupation is considered as a strategic target of its location as the gateway to the south of the sector, and it has a geographic, political and human symbolism, and seeks to control it to achieve several objectives, in particular: in particular: in particular: in particular: in particular: in particular: in particular: in particular: in particular: in particular: in particular: in particular:
- The Gaza Strip finally suffocated by cutting earthly communication with the outside world, by controlling the crossing of Rafah’s land, the only one for around two million and 400,000 Palestinians.
- Control the movement of supplies and humanitarian aid through the only commercial crossing of Karam Abu Salem, thus imposing its field and its political conditions on the Palestinians and the international community.
- Imposing an area of buffer extended along the borders of the band, as a step towards the implementation of the entire separation plan of Gaza, and devoting the reality of famine, isolation, displacement and a sustainable seat.
- A “false victory” achieved before his internal audience after his inability to achieve his declared objectives of war, by photographing control of Rafah as military achievement.
- What is happening in Rafah is not only a military action, but rather a real implementation of a “hybrid plan and regulation” to break the will and the determination of the Palestinians, and to impose a “forced colony” in fire and the siege.

Pressure
The writer specializing in Israeli affairs, Mustafa Ibrahim, agrees with the constants in many of what he went and says to Al -jazeera Net, that the Israeli movement generalized in Rafah, the political dimensions and the objectives, linked to the cease-fire negotiations and the exchange of exchange, and even the vision of war.
Ibrahim, who is a family of refugees, does not exclude from the village of “Berr” and lived in the refugee camp in Rafah since 1948 – that Israel will return what he did in Rafah in other regions and the isolate to reduce the area of the sector and increase the pressure on civilians with death and start -up, in a military plan and a military plan that is not a secret, political and declared.
