"Israel Intensifies Rafah Assault Amid Global Outcry"

Israel continues its military assault on Rafah in southern Gaza, ignoring a UN Security Council draft resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire. Israeli tanks have penetrated the city center, and air strikes persist, leading to significant civilian casualties and a humanitarian crisis. Despite global calls, including from US President Joe Biden, for restraint, Israel's military operations continue, with nearly one million people displaced. The UN Security Council is set to discuss the situation further, but previous ceasefire resolutions have been vetoed by the United States.
