Middle East crisis live: Israel orders Rafah evacuation
Briefly

The Israeli military has issued extensive evacuation orders in southern Rafah, Gaza, reflecting a resurgence of conflict after the breakdown of a ceasefire. This move follows a major military operation initiated by Israel in Rafah earlier in the year, which resulted in significant destruction. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu appointed Eli Sharvit to lead the domestic security agency amid ongoing tensions, while US airstrikes continue against the Houthi rebels in Yemen. Meanwhile, Iran's response to US President Trump's letter leaves open negotiations yet highlights the complexities of international dialogue regarding its nuclear program.
The Israeli military issued sweeping evacuation orders covering most of the southern city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip on Monday morning, signaling an escalation in conflict.
Israel's renewed military operations in Rafah demonstrate its strategy of maintaining a presence along the Gaza border to combat weapons smuggling, despite ceasefire agreements.
