Israeli tanks have advanced into central Rafah, seizing a key hill overlooking the Egypt border. The move comes as part of a "very targeted" ground operation, according to the Israeli military, continuing their activities against "terror targets" in the area. Overnight, western parts of the city faced heavy bombardment despite global condemnation over a recent deadly airstrike on a displaced persons camp. Israel denies reports of tank shells hitting another camp, while the UN reports over a million people fleeing the conflict in Rafah. Israel sees control of Rafah as crucial for its conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
