Hace dos meses, antes de que las tropas israelíes invadieran Rafah, la ciudad albergaba a la mayoría de los más de 2 millones de habitantes de Gaza. Hoy es una ciudad fantasma cubierta de polvo. Hay edificios de apartamentos abandonados y perforados a balazos, con paredes y ventanas destrozadas. Los dormitorios y las cocinas son visibles desde las calles salpicadas de montones de escombros que se elevan sobre los vehículos militares israelíes que pasan.
El ejército dice que ha sido necesario operar con esa intensidad porque Hamás convirtió las zonas civiles en trampas traicioneras. Ocho soldados murieron el mes pasado por una sola explosión. “Algunos de estos túneles tienen trampas explosivas”, dijo el principal portavoz del ejército, el contralmirante Daniel Hagari, durante el recorrido del miércoles mientras se encontraba junto a un pozo que conducía bajo tierra.
