CNN: Israel delays Gaza ground plan due to Iranian attack

On April 15, according to CNN, two Israeli sources told CNN that Israel had planned to take the first step of a ground offensive in Rafah this week, but delayed those plans due to consideration of its response to the Iranian attack. The Israeli Air Force plans to drop leaflets in parts of the city on Monday, the sources said. An Israeli official said Israel is still determined to launch a ground offensive in the southern city, but the timing of the evacuation of civilians and the upcoming ground offensive remains unclear. The Israeli military declined to comment.
