The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that the number of people killed in the attacks carried out by Israeli warplanes at night on the city of Rafah next to the border with Egypt, where 1.5 million Palestinians took refuge, increased to 67.
The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the military operation planned by Israel would have terrible consequences.
The USA and Egypt had warned Israel not to carry out an operation in Rafah, which is the only point where humanitarian aid enters the Gaza Strip.
