IDF seize Gaza side of Rafah crossing

Israel’s Defence Force has seized control of the Rafah crossing on Gaza’s side. However, humanitarian organisations are concerned the latest developments could see the movement of important aid cut off. There are concerns from the international community that Israel now plans to expand its military operations into Rafah. However, Rafah holds many Palestinian civilians fleeing the IDF’s war with Hamas. The move comes after Hamas reportedly agreed to a ceasefire which Israel has not yet agreed to.
