The Israel Defense Forces says that there will be a tactical pause in fighting until 2 p.m. in the Ash Shaboura area in the Rafah district for humanitarian purposes.

The IDF’s Arabic spokesman Avichay Adraee says there is fighting in parts of Salah al-Din Road in Khan Younis, and it should be avoided.

However, traffic will be authorized from Khan Younis on designated routes.
