This is AP News, I'm Rita Folle. There is a sign this morning that the Israelis may soon go into Rafa, the city in Gaza, the AP's Karen Shamas. The Israeli army has ordered Palestinians to evacuate parts of Rafa in southern Gaza ahead of an expected ground invasion there. The military ordered 100,000 people to move to a nearby area called Muasi. The evacuation order is a sign that a long-promised ground invasion of Rafa could be imminent and the United States, Israel's closest ally, has repeatedly urged Israel not to carry out the invasion. I'm Karen Shamas. There weren't many interruptions at commencement ceremonies at some universities over the weekend in the US, despite the national wave of protests over the Israel-Hamas War.
