A man looks on as Palestinians inspect a tent camp damaged in an Israel i strike during an Israel i military operation, in Rafah , in the southern Gaza Strip, May 28, 2024. Israel i tanks conducted a second day of probing attacks across Rafah on Wednesday, after Washington said the assault did not amount to a major ground incursion of the southern Gaza n city that U.S. officials had told Israel to avoid.
The armed wings of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad said they confronted the invading forces with anti-tank rockets and mortar bombs, as well as blowing up previously planted explosive devices. Some residents reported seeing what they described as unmanned robotic armoured vehicles opening fire from machine guns in some parts of the city.
Around that number have now fled Rafah since after Israeli orders to evacuate, the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA reported on Tuesday. The Palestinian Red Crescent said one of its staff, Issam Aqel, was killed in an Israeli air strike on his house in the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip. It said his death rose to 30 the number of staff killed since Oct. 7, at least 17 of them killed on duty.
