A 98-year-old woman from Ukraine recounted how she traversed 10 kilometres&nbsp;amid heavy shelling, using sticks for support and sleeping on the ground.

Originally from Ocheretyne in Donetsk, now under Russian occupation, she wanted&nbsp;to reach areas controlled by Kyiv. In a video shared by Ukraine's police on social media, the woman, known as Lidia Stepanivna, shared that despite facing a major risk to her life, she kept going.

"I survived that war (World War Two), and I am surviving this war," Stepanivna said in the video, which shows her sitting on a bed in a shelter, dressed in an oversized coat and a scarf tied on her head, a wooden stick still in her hand. "I'm left with nothing. But I left my Ukraine on feet."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on Tuesday (Apr 30) said Israel will carry out operation in southern Gaza’s Rafah regardless of whether a ceasefire and hostage release deal is reached. Meanwhile, a report by news agency AFP citing a top Israeli official said that the government will wait until Wednesday (May 1) night for Hamas’ answer to the latest proposal.&nbsp;

<h2>‘With or without a deal’: Netanyahu</h2>

Netanyahu, on Tuesday again vowed to launch an incursion into the southern Gaza city of Rafah where millions of displaced Palestinians are sheltering amid the ongoing war between Israel and the militant group Hamas.&nbsp;

Israel’s plans for Rafah have garnered international criticism and condemnation even from its allies, but the Israeli PM has reiterated the need&nbsp;to eliminate Hamas’ battalions in the southern Gaza city in order to achieve “total victory.”

“The idea that we will stop the war before achieving all of its goals is out of the question,” said Netanyahu, according to a statement by his office.&nbsp;

He added, “We will enter Rafah and we will eliminate Hamas’ battalions there – with or without a deal, to achieve the total victory.”

The Israeli PM made the remarks on Tuesday while addressing a small group of families of hostages called the Tikva Forum. The group is distinct from the large group representing the families of captive Israelis in Gaza and has reportedly put crushing Hamas over the freedom of their loved ones.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, the group representing the majority of the families of captive Israelis have taken to the streets across the country calling on the government to work out a deal that brings the hostages home, saying it should take precedence over military action.
