Israel’s Airstrikes in Gaza Strip
Israel launched airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Saturday in response to renewed criticism from the United States and a warning from the United Nations.
United States Criticism
The United States criticized Israel’s conduct of the war, prompting further tensions in the region.
UN Warning
The United Nations issued a warning of a potential “epic” disaster if an outright invasion of Rafah, a city in the Gaza Strip, occurs.
Impact on Rafah
AFP journalists reported Israeli strikes in various sectors of the coastal Palestinian territory. The UN highlighted that aid is currently blocked in the region after Israeli troops entered eastern Rafah, leading to the closure of two crossings.
