LIVE: View of the southern Gaza city of Rafah as seen from Israeli side of the border

View of the southern Gaza city of Rafah as seen from Israeli side of the border, as Israeli forces operate in the area.

Israel’s military denied striking a tent camp west of Rafah on Tuesday after Gaza health authorities said Israeli tank shelling had killed at least 21 people there, in an area Israel has designated a civilian evacuation zone.

Earlier, defying an appeal from the International Court of Justice, Israeli tanks advanced to the heart of Rafah for the first time after a night of heavy bombardment.
