Israeli tanks move near Rafah's Mawasi camp day after killing 47

from Daily Sabah

Israeli tanks closed in on the Mawasi camp for displaced Palestinians in southern Gaza's Rafah on Sunday after killing at least 47 people in overnight airstrikes.

Images of two Israeli tanks stationed on a hilltop overlooking the coastal area went viral on social media, but Reuters could not independently verify them.

"The fighting with the resistance has been intense. The occupation forces are overlooking the Mawasi area now, which forced families there to head for Khan Younis," said one resident, who asked not to be named, on a chat app.

More than eight months into Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, its advance is focused on the two areas its forces have yet to seize: Rafah on Gaza's southern tip and the area surrounding Deir al-Balah in the center.

Residents said Israeli tanks had pushed deeper into western and northern Rafah in recent days, blowing up dozens of houses.
