Heavy fighting between Israeli troops and Hamas militants raged east of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip on Friday, as terrified residents jammed roads out of the city, many of them fleeing once again for their lives without any guarantees that they would find safety.
The Israeli military said it was engaged in a “precise counterterrorism operation” in eastern Rafah, on the outskirts of the city, and that it had “eliminated several terror cells during close-quarters combat” and in an airstrike. Doctors at the area’s few remaining hospitals said most of the wounded arriving at their wards were children.
