Israeli tanks penetrate centre of Rafah and air attacks persist across the city despite global calls to end the carnage.
Israel has continued its assault on Rafah, ignoring a draft resolution to the UN Security Council to “stop the killing” in the city in southern Gaza.
New air attacks were reported across the southernmost city on Wednesday morning, hours after witnesses and a Palestinian security source said Israeli tanks had penetrated the heart of Rafah.
“People are currently inside their homes because anyone who moves is being shot at by Israeli drones,” resident Abdel Khatib said.
Israeli air strikes targeted various parts of the city, including the vicinity of the Badr camp and the Zourob roundabout west of the city, according to Palestinian news agency Shehab.
A complete shutdown of telecommunications and internet services throughout Rafah is also reported.
