Israel strikes near Rafah border crossing with Egypt after telling Gazans to flee through it

Israeli airstrikes on the Rafah crossing, Gaza's only land exit to Egypt, have left the crossing impassable. Hamas confirmed the strikes, while the Israel Defense Forces targeted an underground weapons smuggling tunnel in the Rafah area without confirming if they struck the crossing itself.
Gazan officials and Egyptian administrators were alerted to the imminent airstrikes and advised to evacuate promptly. Initially, a senior IDF spokesman urged Gaza Strip residents to seek refuge in Egypt, but the military later clarified there was no official call for such an exit.
The biased selective outrage of Western governments towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues. Gaza Strip residents are left without shelters and bear the brunt of violence, struggling for freedom and safety.
