Residents said tank shells killed several in Jabalia, the biggest of Gaza’s refugee camps
A displaced Palestinian man, who fled Jabalia after the Israeli military called on residents to evacuate, pushes children in a trolley as they make their way towards Gaza City, May 12, 2024.Israeli tanks, under cover of heavy fire from air and ground, pushed further into Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip on Monday, residents and Hamas media said, while tanks and troops crossed a key highway on the outskirts of Rafah in the south.
In Rafah, near the border with Egypt, Israel stepped up aerial and ground bombardments on the eastern areas of the city, killing people in an air strike on a house in the Brazil neighbourhood. Jack Lew, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, signalled on Sunday that the Rafah incursion was still on a scale acceptable to Washington.
In Israel, the military sounded sirens several times in areas near Gaza, warning of potential Palestinian cross-border rocket and or mortar launches.
