00:00A man reported that residents were hit by shellings shortly after an
00:04Associated Press journalist at the Sidi Kouaidi Hospital saw several injured
00:09children arrive at the medical facility. It is unclear if there were fatalities.
00:14The alleged tank shelling took place in an area of Rafah which the Israeli
00:18forces did not request to evacuate. Around 1.3 million Palestinians are
00:24crammed into Rafah and most of them who are fled fighting elsewhere. Israel says
00:28that Rafah is the last stronghold for Hamas and that's a wider offensive
00:32there is needed to dismantle the group's military and the government
00:36capabilities. The country's launch what it says is a targeted operation on the
00:41city last week that has included taking over the Palestinian side of a key
00:45border crossing. In regards to this as we know the Israel military has seized
00:48control of the Gaza Strip side of the Rafah border crossing with Egypt
00:52despite there is a prospect of a ceasefire deal with Hamas again as we
00:57mentioned before.
