Four Israeli airstrikes targeted Rafah’s tallest residential building, the 14-storey Al-Masry building, located near the Egypt border with 300 residents. Israel allegedly warned residents 30 minutes before the strike. Video footage shows residents fleeing before the midnight strike. The IDF confirmed the airstrikes, labeling Al-Masry as a Hamas military asset. Israel is escalating operations in the last area of Rafah it has not yet invaded, leading to overcrowding with over 1.4 million displaced Palestinians seeking shelter. Humanitarian agencies warn of a catastrophe if Rafah is invaded.
