"Two Palestinian men were killed in Maghazi after they were targeted in a drone strike, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa. In Rafah, Israeli forces said in a statement that the air force had killed three terrorists as a group of eight had emerged from an underground location. They said that further strikes were launched and that soldiers continue to conduct searches in the area in order to locate and eliminate the remaining people"
"Rafah is the location of a strategic border crossing to Egypt. It is the only passage between the Gaza Strip and the outside world that does not lead to Israel, and is a vital conduit for humanitarian aid. Palestinian authorities have demanded the immediate reopening of the Rafah crossing, a stipulation of the second phase of the US-brokered ceasefire deal, saying the continued blockade has prevented the entry of necessary supplies for the tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians in the area."
Drone strikes and Israeli shelling across Gaza killed at least five people and injured 11 others during Friday operations. Two Palestinian men were killed in a drone strike in Maghazi refugee camp.
