Gulf Today Report

A mosque at the Rafah Crossing has been transformed into a headquarters, restaurant and a centre for entertainment by the Israeli soldiers.

The mosque is locally know as the Rafah Crossing mosque, located about 280 meters from Egyptian territory.

A video shared on social media showed soldiers cooking food inside the mosque. They have defaced its walls with writings and tampered with its contents.

Israeli tanks advanced deeper into the western area of Rafah, amid one of the worst nights of bombardment from air, ground, and sea, forcing many families to flee their homes and tents under darkness, residents said on Thursday.

Residents said the Israeli forces thrust towards the Al-Mawasi area of Rafah near the beach, which is designated as a humanitarian area in all announcements and maps published by the Israeli army since it began its Rafah offensive in May.

The Israeli military denied in a statement it had launched any strikes inside the Al-Mawasi humanitarian zone.
