Israeli tanks push deeper into eastern Rafah this morning, entering the neighborhoods of Al-Jneina, Al-Salam and Al-Brazil, residents say.

“The tanks advanced this morning west of Salahuddin road into the Brzail and Jneina neighborhoods. They are in the streets inside the built-up area and there are clashes,” one resident tells Reuters via a chat app.
