Israel intensified calls for Palestinian evacuations in Gaza's Rafah, signaling potential ground operations. About 300,000 Gazans moved to designated humanitarian areas amidst escalating conflict. Israeli airstrikes targeted central Gaza overnight, resulting in 24 Palestinian casualties. Despite US concerns and humanitarian alarms, Israel persists with plans to enter Rafah, aiming to root out Hamas fighters. Tanks encircle Rafah's eastern section, prompting Washington to withhold some military aid. The Biden administration expressed concern over Israel's use of US-supplied weapons, acknowledging potential violations of international humanitarian law during the Gaza operation.
