In continuation of the Rafah operation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reaffirms military action despite Hamas' acceptance of a ceasefire proposal. The move follows Israeli forces seizing control of the Rafah crossing and shutting down the Kerem Shalom crossing. Amid cheers from crowds, Israel conducted airstrikes on Rafah, with Hamas responding by firing rockets. US President Joe Biden cautioned against invading Rafah, urging restraint. Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres emphasized the intolerable consequences of a ground invasion, urging both parties to pursue a ceasefire.
