ISRAELI tanks have advanced to the road that divides the Gaza Strip, effectively encircling the entire eastern half of refugee-filled Rafah.Some 1.5 million civilians who fled other war-torn parts of Gaza were estimated to have sought refuge in Rafah, living in makeshift shelters with limited access to food, water, and blankets.But Netanyahu was apparently undeterred by the threat and vowed to have Israel enter the city, where he has said"If we must, we shall fight with our fingernails.
Hamas claimed to have ambushed Israeli tanks near a mosque in the east of Rafah, indicating Netanyahu's troops had already entered the city from the east and progressed several kilometres within it. "All humanitarian aid convoys have been unable to pass into Gaza from the south for the last couple of days. No fuel has entered and already the UN is planning for the worst case scenarios, rationing fuel for essential activities only."
