Israeli Tanks Advance on Rafah Amid Escalating Gaza Conflict

Israeli tanks have entered central Rafah in Gaza for the first time during the ongoing conflict, intensifying military operations despite international condemnation over recent civilian casualties. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continue to target Hamas infrastructure while attempting to minimize civilian harm. The offensive follows a deadly strike that killed two senior Hamas leaders and dozens of civilians, prompting global criticism and calls for a ceasefire.
