The Israeli army continues to attack the city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip and is also fighting again in areas that have effectively been taken over for a long time. The Islamist Hamas fighters are said to have regrouped.
According to residents, Israeli forces have advanced further east of Rafah during the fighting in the Gaza Strip. They advanced with tanks to the districts of Al-Jeneina, Al-Salam and Al-Brasil.
The tanks are on the street in a residential area and there are clashes with Palestinians, a resident reported to the Reuters news agency.
A video on online platforms showed a tank on a street in the Al-Jeneina neighborhood. Reuters has not yet been able to verify the video.
Hundreds of thousands of refugees in Rafah
Despite international calls, the Israeli army entered the town on the border with Egypt a week ago, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have sought refuge from the fighting.
The city is considered the last bastion of Hamas
Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip is considered the last bastion of the radical Islamist Palestinian organization Hamas, which sparked the war in the Middle East with its attack on Israel on October 7.
According to UN estimates, almost 450,000 people left the city, which was overcrowded with internally displaced people, within a week.
The Islamist terrorist organization Hamas has recently stepped up its attacks on Israeli cities from the Gaza Strip.
Missiles hit the coastal city of Ashkelon
According to Israeli figures, more than 16,600 projectiles have been fired into Israel from the coastal strip since the start of the Gaza war more than seven months ago. Most recently on Tuesday in the Israeli city of Ashkelon.
Initially there were no reports of injuries or property damage. On Sunday, a rocket hit a residential building in Ashkelon. Three people were injured.
