The White House said US national security adviser Jake Sullivan will visit Israel and Saudi Arabia this weekend. The Biden administration declined to comment on a report by Axios that Israel agreed not to expand its Rafah operation significantly before Sullivan’s visit. “We are operating with determination in all three parts of the Gaza Strip. Forces from the air, land and sea are simultaneously striking terrorist targets,” Hagari said, referring to the enclave’s north, centre and south.
In Gaza City, also in the enclave’s north, an Israeli air strike on a house in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood killed four people and wounded several others late on Tuesday, medics said. In Rafah in southern Gaza, Palestinian residents saw smoke billowing above eastern districts of the city and heard explosions after Israel bombarded a cluster of houses.
Much of Gaza’s population is on the brink of famine, the UN says, and desperate for fuel and other essential supplies such as medicine. Relief organizations, the UN and major powers such as the US have urged Israel to facilitate a massive influx of aid.
