Palestinian media report a large Israeli airstrike in the Shaboura area of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
Footage circulating online purports to show the strike.
The IDF has not yet commented on the incident.
The IDF said Wednesday that it had begun to operate against Hamas in Rafah’s Brazil and Shaboura neighborhoods, about halfway between the Israeli border and the coast.
