Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu believes that due to international pressure, the operation to destroy the Hamas battalions in the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah should be completed within a month - by March 10.

Axar.az informs that "Times of Israel" published information about this.

According to information, the prime minister recently told the military cabinet that the operation in the southern city of the Gaza Strip should be completed before the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, taking into account international pressure.

According to the TV channel, Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, Herzi Halevi, told Netanyahu that the military is ready for the operation, but that the Israeli government must first decide on the plan.
