The long-dreaded disaster has befallen Gaza's Rafah, as the region reels under the impact of Israeli airstrikes. The Israeli military has asserted its capture of the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing, proclaiming "operational control of the area." 

This development has effectively halted all movement at key areas in the region, which is instrumental for the flow of aid from Egypt into Gaza. Meanwhile, Palestinian authorities report that these airstrikes have resulted in numerous fatalities.

In an official statement, the office of Israel's Prime Minister disclosed that the nation's war cabinet has "unanimously decided" to persist with the Rafah operation to maintain military pressure on Hamas.
