Following overnight air strikes on Rafah in Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced capturing the Palestinian side of the Rafah Border Gate, a critical point for humanitarian aid entry into the Gaza Strip. The strikes targeted the city, irrespective of civilian evacuations, drawing global concern as over a million displaced Palestinians sought refuge in Rafah. While world leaders issued statements, the IDF reported the 401st Armored Brigade’s capture of the border gate, disrupting aid flow through Salah al-Din road. Eyewitnesses verified the military’s actions, highlighting the tense situation in the region.
Around 500,000 people rallied in Tel Aviv, Israel’s largest protest since the war began, demanding the release of hostages. Police used tear gas, detained 38 people, and clashed with crowds outside the ruling Likud Party headquarters. Demonstrations also spread to Jerusalem, while families of hostages staged a one-day strike.
