Israel Hamas war: Tanks move into central Rafah as thousands flee

The Israeli military appears to have stepped up its operations in Rafah - despite the warnings of its allies, and global outrage over the deaths of 45 people following a strike close to a refugee camp on Sunday night. Today, Gazan health officials said a new strike on a cluster of tents killed at least 21, and injured scores more. The IDF has denied carrying out any attacks in the area. This latest incident happened in the al-Mawasi coastal area - where Israel had advised civilians to take shelter. Meanwhile, Israeli tanks and armoured vehicles were spotted close to the Al-Awda Mosque - right in the heart of Rafah.
