Israeli tanks pushed back into some areas of the northern Gaza Strip, Tuesday which they had left weeks ago, as warplanes strikes on Rafah, the Palestinians’ last refuge in south of the territory,  residents said there had been an internet outage in the areas of Beit Hanoun & Jabalia in northern Gaza. Tanks advanced into Beit Hanoun and surrounded some schools where displaced families have taken refuge, the residents & media outlets of the militant Palestinian group Hamas.
In Al-Nusseirat refugee camp in central Gaza Strip, residents said Israeli planes bombed & destroyed four multi-storey residential buildings on Tuesday
& occupation soldiers ordered all families inside the schools & nearby houses where tanks had advanced to evacuate. Soldiers detained many men,” one resident of northern Gaza told Reuters via a chat app. Beit Hanoun, home to 60,000 people, was one of first areas targeted by Israel’s ground offensive in Gaza last October. Many families who had returned to Beit Hanoun and Jabalia in recent weeks after Israeli forces withdrew, began moving out again on Tuesday because of the new raid, some residents said.

Palestinian health officials said in 1 strike, Israel killed 4 people & wounded several others in Rafah, where over half of Gaza’s 2.3 million people are sheltering, bracing for a planned Israeli ground offensive into the city, which borders Egypt.

Israeli military said forces continued to operate in central Gaza that they had killed several gunmen who attempted to attack them. “Furthermore, over past day, IDF fighter jets destroyed a missile launcher along with dozens of terrorist infrastructure, terror tunnels, and military compounds where armed Hamas terrorists were located.”
