Israel Intensifies Military Operation in Rafa

Palestinians in the area, who had sought refuge, were caught in the violence. Despite a UN court's call to cease the military assault, explosions and airstrikes continued, making it challenging to track the full extent of the impact on civilians and infrastructure in Rafa.
