IDF tanks advanced deeper into eastern Rafah on Tuesday morning, entering the neighborhoods of Al-Jneina, Al-Salam and Al-Brazil, Reuters reported.
“The tanks advanced this morning west of Salahuddin road into the Brazil and Jneina neighborhoods,” a Gazan resident told Reuters.
“They are in the streets inside the built-up area and there are clashes.”
IDF Col. (ret.) Dr. Jacques Neriah, a special analyst for the Middle East at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, told i24News that he doesn’t think that the IDF will carry ou a full-scale operation in Rafah.
Instead, he believes that “Israel will use the ‘salami’ approach of launching an operation in a limited area and then moving on to the next area and so on in order not to create a crisis with the Biden administration.”
The unreliable UNWRA organization reported on Tuesday that an estimated, 450,000 Gazans have been “forcefully displaced” from Rafah since May 6th, when IDF forces entered the eastern part of the city.
Over 1 million people were sheltering in Rafah before the IDF entered the city.

MaYamru HaGoyim? HaKadosh Baruch Hu runs the world! Don’t look for reshus from Hashem’s puppets. The IDF should destroy all threats. Newsflash… we have left the shtetl!
Looks like they are “finding out”. Soon there will be no place for the haters and murderers to run bzH. If one rises against you, get up and strike him first.
The Salami approach is fine as long as it cuts away at the American Baloney approach
I hope the IDF got prior permission from Dana Bash, Thomas Friedman, & Margaret Brennan.
