The Israeli army (IDF) is carrying out raids on Wednesday in the east of Rafah, the city in the south of the Gaza Strip. Several people were killed, the IDF reported. The army itself speaks of a “precise counter-terrorist operation”. Qatar, meanwhile, is calling on the international community to take action to prevent a “genocide” in Rafah, now that the Israeli army appears to be launching a large-scale offensive in the city. About 1.4 million Palestinian refugees currently live there. Follow all developments in our live blog.
