Israel’s Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has announced that more troops would “enter Rafah”, as military operations intensify in Gaza’s far-southern city, AFP reports.
The operation in Rafah “will continue as additional forces will enter” the area, Gallant said, adding that “several tunnels in the area have been destroyed by our troops […] this activity will intensify”.
“Hundreds of targets have already been struck, and our forces are manoeuvring in the area,” he said in a ministry statement.
