We'll be closing this live page soon so here's a look at what's been happening today: | |
Eyewitnesses and local journalists in Rafah have reported that Israeli tanks have seized control of the al-Awda roundabout, which is a key landmark housing major banks, government institutions, businesses, and shops | |
The Hamas-run health ministry says a total of 21 people have been killed and 64 injured in a strike on a displaced persons camp in west Rafah this afternoon | |
The IDF denies striking the humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi today | |
It comes after at least 45 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli air strike in Rafah on Sunday | |
Israel called Sunday's strike a "tragic mishap" and faced widespread international condemnation | |
