Residents said fighting intensified in the Tel Al-Sultan neighbourhood in western Rafah, where tanks were also trying to force their way north amid heavy clashes.
The armed wings of Hamas and Islamic Jihad said fighters attacked Israeli forces with anti-tank rockets and mortar bombs. In the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya, an Israeli air strike destroyed a house, killing four Palestinians and wounding several others, medics said.The Israeli offensive in retaliation has so far killed 37,658 people, the Gaza Health Ministry said on June 25 and has left the tiny, heavily built-up Gaza Strip in ruins.
