Israel has launched a third air raid on the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt, targeting the Palestinian side with four missiles, according to local Egyptian group Sinai for Human Rights.

The drill involved various measures, including seeking shelter in basement parking lots with hands covering eyes and ears while keeping mouths open to minimize the impact of blast waves from missiles.
