The Israeli defence ministry is purchasing 40,000 tents ahead of an evacuation of the southern Gaza city of Rafah, which Israel has said it plans to assault to destroy remaining battalions of the Hamas militant group, Israeli media reported on Tuesday. There was no immediate confirmation from the defence ministry of the purchase, which the Jerusalem Post newspaper, one of a number that reported the news, said was leaked without a formal announcement. News of the planned purchase of the tents, each of which can shelter 12 people, was one of the first signs of concrete preparations for an evacuation of Rafah, where more than 1 million Palestinians have been sheltering.
