The Israeli military said it had launched a ground incursion into the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah. Al Jazeera reported that troops are also advancing north, near the town of Beit Lahia, as well as into central areas.
Medical sources said more than 590 Palestinians have been killed in attacks since Israel broke a ceasefire in Gaza on Tuesday, and the death toll continues to rise amid intensified Israeli air strikes and ground incursions.
