Israel’s assault on Gaza is continuing with Israeli tanks moving into the western portions of the southern city of Rafah.
Israel’s renewed pushes into areas of Rafah comes amid deadly Israeli strikes in Gaza City, with Palestinian news agency WAFA reporting that three people were killed, including a child, in a strike in Khan Younis
As Israel’s assault on Rafah continues, tensions with Hezbollah on the Israel-Lebanon border have prompted US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to tell his Israeli counterparts to avoid any escalation with the group.
His comments come after the Israeli military announced it had approved plans to invade Lebanon while Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has threatened to escalate the conflict if it breaks out.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed 37,431 Palestinians, with a further 85,653 wounded.
