Israeli forces killed at least 35 Palestinians in aerial and ground attacks across the besieged Gaza Strip on Thursday, according to the Reuters news agency.
Israeli tanks advanced in southeastern Rafah towards the city’s western district of Yibna and continued operations in three eastern suburbs, residents told Reuters.
“The occupation [Israel] is trying to move further to the west. They are on the edge of Yibna, which is densely populated. They didn’t invade it yet,” one resident told Reuters, requesting anonymity.
“We hear explosions and we see black smoke coming up from the areas where the army has invaded. It was another very difficult night,” he told Reuters via a chat app.
