Israel says it will eliminate four Hamas brigades in Rafah, but not 'all Hamas members'

David Mencer, spokesman for the Israeli government, said in a statement that Israel will eliminate the four remaining Hamas brigades in Rafah, but it will not necessarily eliminate all Hamas fighters in the city.

He added that Israel requested Egypt to open the Rafah crossing for Gaza residents wishing to escape the ongoing war between Israel and Gaza for the past seven months, but the request was rejected.
