The Israeli army intensified its ground invasion and offensive in Rafah, which started on May 7, while more tanks were seen invading western areas, especially towards the Tal Al-Sultan neighborhood, before redeploying in the Tal Zo’rob area, near the border with Egypt.
Media sources Israeli military Quadcopter drones fired many live rounds at the Palestinians in Tal Al-Sultan, while the army fired many missiles and shells, killing at least two Palestinians in the Abu Halawa area, east of Rafah, and wounding many others.

Medical sources said the Palestinians were still looking for more Palestinians under the rubble of the bombarded homes.
Due to Israeli Forces operations, thousands of families have been forced to flee. All of @UNRWA 36 shelters in Rafah are now empty.
1.7 million people are estimated to be displaced in Khan Younis and #Gaza Middle Areas.
