The ongoing Hamas-Israel war has shaken the entire world. Israeli tanks moved to the edge of a crowded district in the heart of Rafah.

The area witnessed one of the most intense nights of bombardment of the southern Gaza city since Israel launched its attack there this month.

More than 35,500 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza offensive since October 7, 2023 (when the battle started).

Israel’s attack on Rafah has set hundreds of thousands of people fleeing.

Israel claims that it has no option but to raid the city to root out the last battalions of Hamas fighters it believes are hiding there. 

Here are some photos from the Hamas-Israel war. Have a look:
