Rafah: <\/b><\/p>\n
Gaza civil defence and aid officials said Monday that Israeli jets struck two areas in eastern Rafah the Israeli military had ordered to be evacuated, ahead of a possible ground invasion of the Palestinian city.<\/p>\n
“The areas targeted by the Israeli occupation are near the perimeter of Gaza International Airport, the Al-Shuka area, the Abu Halawa area, the Salaheddin street area and the Salam neighbourhood,” Gaza civil defence agency spokesman Ahmed Ridwan told AFP. Another aid official confirmed the strikes.<\/p>\n
The Israeli military did not offer an immediate comment, but earlier on Sunday it ordered residents of Al-Shuka and Al-Salam to evacuate and move to a humanitarian area.<\/p>\n
Osama al-Kahlut from the emergency operations department of the Red Crescent Society told AFP that the bombing was targeting eastern areas of Rafah.<\/p>\n
“It is clear that it is targeting homes, but we have not received any communications or information about the presence of victims in the targeted areas,” he said.<\/p>\n
Eastern Rafah resident Yaqub al-Sheikh Salama, 30, said the bombing was intense in Al-Salam, Al-Shuka, and other areas.<\/p>\n
“There are massive explosions and terrifying sounds of aerial and artillery bombardments,” Salam told AFP.<\/p>\n
“Children and women are scared and don’t know where to go,” he said.<\/p>\n
