Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had said before sending troops to Rafah that we had driven out Hamas from Gaza and that to eliminate it we would have to enter Rafah. Before Israeli control, there were about 1.4 million Palestine refugees in Rafah. According to the UN, about 8 lakh Palestinians have fled from Rafah after the Israeli invasion.
