ALBAWABA - Israeli media outlets face a major challenge as the "All Eyes on Rafah" campaign grows in reaction to the Israeli military assault in southern Gaza Strip. While the Israeli media has unable to rebut the campaign, opponents of the Israeli military involvement have gained momentum.

The Israeli military action was opposed by one media campaign and supported by another, according to "Kan 11". The Israeli effort was "relatively successful," but the counter-campaign, "All Eyes on Rafah," has garnered social media attention.

The "All Eyes on Rafah" campaign, which included desert and tent images with a caption, has tens of millions of shares, outpacing the Israeli effort. Israeli media slogans like "Where Were Your Eyes on October 7?," against the narrative, have had little effect.

According to AlJazeera, experts like Ronit Had, Vice President of the Hartman Institute in Israel, said the "All Eyes on Rafah" campaign helped Hamas's PR.

Former CIA Director General David Petraeus said that the Gaza war is more complicated than Iraq. Gaza's massive tunnel network and terrorist organizations' use of civilian shields presented obstacles, according to Petraeus.

Israeli media have also reported U.S. authorities' increased vigilance after Rafah. Journalists have questioned American officials about whether Israel has exceeded red lines, signaling escalating diplomatic concerns.

Israeli media sources struggle to refute the "All Eyes on Rafah" narrative while negotiating intricate diplomatic and military issues.
