How Israel launched its Rafah offensive and seized key border crossing
Tuesday, 7 May 2024 () After more than six months of war and displacement, half the population of the Gaza Strip is thought to be sheltering in Rafah, Gaza's southernmost city.
The Israeli Air Force struck over 70 targets in Gaza, including weapon depots and terror group infrastructure. Ground forces killed operatives and located rocket launchers in Rafah and Jabaliya. This marks a significant breakthrough for Israel in Rafah, despite international concerns about a high-casualty operation affecting hostage negotiations. A senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad operative was also killed.
