The Israeli army indicated this Tuesday that it took control of the Palestinian part of the Rafah border crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt.
A unit of armored vehicles “maneuvered in the area” and “special forces inspect the border crossing” of Rafah.
“We have operational control of the area,” the Israeli army stated. “We are only talking about the Gazan side” of the crossing, he said.
The army said it was carrying out a “very limited scope operation against very specific targets” in eastern Rafah.
“A large part of the organization and the people in the area where we gave the evacuation notice yesterday (Monday) moved to a safer area,” he added.
Since the start of the operation in eastern Rafah, the army has killed 20 fighters, he said.
