JAKARTA - Israeli tanks have reportedly entered downtown Rafah for the first time after three weeks of ground operations in the southern Gaza city that sparked global condemnation.
The tanks were spotted near the Al-Awda mosque, witnesses told Reuters. The Israeli military (IDF) said its troops were continuing to operate in the Rafah region.
Israeli troops attacked the city with airstrikes and tank fire, despite international protests over the attack on Sunday, May 26, which killed 45 Palestinians.
Israeli tanks moved towards the western region and took positions at the top of the Zurub hill in the western Rafah. On Tuesday, May 28, witnesses reported a shootout between Israeli troops and Hamas-led fighters in the Zurub area.
