Title: Israeli Army Discharges Reserve Forces Planned for Rafah Operation

Israeli newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth" reported that the army has discharged some reserve forces that were scheduled to participate in the potential operation in Rafah, the southernmost part of the Gaza Strip. This comes despite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's assertion of his intent to invade Rafah even if an agreement is reached. The Israeli Broadcasting Authority noted that Netanyahu pledged to Likud ministers not to halt the war in Gaza for an extended period.
