Israel Hamas war: Tanks move into central Rafah as thousands flee

The Israeli military appears to have stepped up its operations in Rafah despite the warnings of its allies, and global outrage over the deaths of 45 people following a strike close to a refugee camp on Sunday night. Today, Gazan health officials said a new strike on a cluster of tents killed at least 21, and injured scores more. The IDF has denied carrying out any attacks in the area. This latest incident happened in the alMawasi coastal area where Israel had advised civilians to take shelter. Meanwhile, Israeli tanks and armoured vehicles were spotted close to the AlAwda Mosque right in the heart of Rafah.
