Israel announces ground attacks on Rafah, last refuge for more than a million people in Gaza. Fear spreads among the hundreds of thousands of displaced people crowding southern Gaza, trapped along the border with Egypt.
In recent hours, Israel's Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, has cleared up possible doubts about the intentions of his army. From his announcement it is clear that they are determined to attack and deploy to the last inch of Gaza. Meanwhile, there are no concrete announcements by any of the parties in the conflict that bring any closer to a ceasefire.
