STORYLINE:
Explosions and smoke rising in direction of eastern Rafah were seen from Muwasi in the war-torn Gaza Strip on Tuesday.
An Israeli tank brigade has seized control of the Gaza Strip side of the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, moving ahead with an offensive in the southern city even as cease-fire negotiations with Hamas remain on a knife’s edge.
The development on Tuesday comes after hours of whiplash in the Israel-Hamas war.
The militant group on Monday said it accepted an Egyptian-Qatari mediated cease-fire proposal.
Israel, meanwhile, insisted the deal did not meet its core demands.
The high-stakes diplomatic moves and military brinkmanship left a glimmer of hope alive — but only barely — for an accord that could bring at least a pause in the 7-month-old war that has devastated the Gaza Strip.
