Battles intensify between Palestinian resistance fighters, Israeli forces in Rafah

Battles have intensified between Palestinian resistance fighters and Israeli forces in Rafah as the regime’s tanks push into the southern Gaza Strip city.

Media reports said on Thursday that the fighting is taking place in western and central Rafah, Gaza’s last refuge. 

The reports added that some of the heaviest clashes are underway at the outskirts of al-Shaboura refugee camp.

Israel unleashed a genocidal war on Gaza on October 7, which has so far killed at least 37,396 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 85,523 others.

Seven months later, the occupying regime began a ground offensive in Rafah, home to displaced Palestinians who had fled from the rest of Gaza amid the bloody Israeli onslaught.
