According to Al Jazeera, the Israeli army has compelled the Palestinians to leave a sizable portion of northern Gaza, where Hamas and Israeli soldiers are engaged in combat.
Along with the sound of explosions, Palestinian residents in Rafah reported seeing smoke rising above the eastern areas of the city.
At least 450,000 Palestinians have been forced to leave Rafah in the last week, according to the UN, as the Israeli army continues its long-awaited ground invasion.
