The Israeli military is expanding its airstrikes to sensitive areas in the southern reaches of the Gaza Strip as it refocuses its military campaign toward Khan Younis and the critical Rafah border city after approaching what it described as operational control in the north of the territory.
Israeli forces said they have struck over 100 targets in recent days, including what they called militant infrastructure, by land, sea and air. Several airstrikes took place in Rafah, according to Wafa, the official Palestinian Authority information agency. It is where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians had fled following Israeli instructions to leave the north. It is also where the bulk of aid has entered the enclave and has been generally viewed as less likely to be hit by air or ground attacks.
