Rafah completely isolated from rest of Gaza, Palestinians say
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe IDF is currently operating in southern Gaza to completely isolate the city of Rafah from the rest of the Gaza Strip, Palestinian sources tell Channel 2.
The sources say that there are no movements north of Rafah, in the direction of Khan Younis and roads are blocked.
In addition, tanks are reportedly operating in the Philadelphi Corridor along the Gaza border with Egypt to block passage into the Sinai region, accompanied by air strikes. Channel 2 reports that there are clashes between IDF troops and gunmen.
The IDF continues to search for 2nd-Lt. Hadar Goldin, who is feared captured in an attack on troops in Rafah Friday morning that also killed two soldiers.
