This Tuesday, the Israeli government invaded the southern Gaza Strip connecting the Rafah crossing with Egypt to take control; Zionism blocked the flow of humanitarian aid through this passage.

Through a statement on Telegram, the Israeli army reported that it has taken “operational control” of the Rafah crossing on the Gaza side, asserting that it is the result of a “precise” operation initiated in the east of the southern city.

Israel is continuing with operation Rafah, through a land invasion of the southern area of the enclave that had become the last refuge for 1.5 million Palestinians who had fled the rest of the territory, destroyed by Israeli bombs, Hispantv said.

During the night of Monday, Israel bombed Rafah, in southern Gaza, causing the death of at least 18 Palestinian civilians.

Benjamin Netanyahu's authoritarianism could torpedo advances in the talks for a truce agreement that are being carried out with the mediation of Qatar and Egypt and that the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS) has said it intends to accept.
