Southern Israel, looking towards Gaza border – 09 May 2024
1. Various of smoke seen from southern Israel in the direction of Rafah
2. Various of parked tanks
3. Smoke rising over Rafah
STORYLINE:
Smoke was seen rising over the southern Gaza Strip area of Rafah on Thursday morning.
An Israeli tank brigade seized the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt early Tuesday.
The limited incursion does not appear to be the start of the full-scale invasion of the crowded southern city that Israel has repeatedly promised.
The U.S. has urged Israel not to launch a full-on assault on Rafah because it would worsen Gaza’s humanitarian catastrophe, and it paused a shipment of bombs to its close ally last week over those concerns.
