Israel is battling Hamas across Gaza, including in the Jabalya refugee camp in the north.
Israel, which previously said it controlled Jabalya, said it is trying to stop Hamas regrouping there. Video captured heavy gunfire, Israeli tanks and the sound of drones in the area on Sunday.
The Israeli military said it was continuing «precise operations» in eastern Rafah and near the Rafah crossing, ahead of a planned full-scale invasion. US officials have repeatedly warned against the move, citing the risk of widespread civilian casualties.
The death toll in the enclave since October 7 has surpassed 35,000, Gaza’s Health Ministry said.
Here are the latest developments:
US warnings: Going “headlong into Rafah” could have dire consequences, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned Sunday. “Israel’s on the trajectory, potentially, to inherit an insurgency with many armed Hamas left, or, if it leaves, a vacuum filled by chaos, filled by anarchy and probably refilled by Hamas,” he said.
