Palestinian fighters ramp up attacks on Israel’s Netzarim Corridor in Gaza
Armed Palestinian groups in Gaza are reporting multiple new attacks on the so-called Netzarim Corridor, which the Israeli military has established to separate northern Gaza from the southern part of the enclave.
A video released by the Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, shows three rockets being launched in cooperation with al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Another video shows Hamas launching Rajum rockets at Netzarim, the same type that was used in the attack on the military installation near the Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing that killed four Israeli soldiers on Sunday.
The Qassam Brigades also said its fighters worked with the Jihad Jibril Brigades, the armed wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command, to launch mortars at the corridor.
Saudi Arabia warns against Israel’s Rafah invasion
The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned of the “dangers” of the looming invasion of the southern Gaza city, calling it part of Israel’s “bloody, systematic campaign to storm all areas of the Gaza Strip and displace its residents into the unknown”.
Thousands of people are fleeing eastern Rafah after Israel ordered people to evacuate as fears of a military assault on the city grow.
