Gazan officials say at least 45 Palestinians were killed in southern Gaza on Friday as the Israeli military continued its push into Rafah.
Tanks were forcing their way into the western and northern parts of the city, having already captured the east, south and centre.Israel told Gazans in Rafah to move towards Al-Mawasi because it was a humanitarian area, but several of those who did say the aid they were promised has not arrived.
The IDF said Israeli troops had over the past week targeted a Gazan university that served as a Hamas headquarters from which militants had fired on soldiers, and where Israeli troops later found weapons and barrel bombs.Some residents said the Israeli onslaught in Rafah had intensified in the previous two days, and the sounds of explosions and gunfire had hardly stopped.
"The city is living through a humanitarian catastrophe and people are dying inside their tents because of Israeli bombardment." "Let's be clear: The people of the region and the people of the world cannot afford Lebanon to become another Gaza." "UN peacekeepers are on the ground working to de-escalate tensions and help prevent miscalculation," Mr Guterres said.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dissolves cabinet overseeing war in GazaAccused killer Ryan Cole seemed like a friendly boat enthusiast to his neighbours.
