Israeli forces have taken control of the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing, which borders Egypt in southern Gaza, Israel’s Army Radio reported.

This comes as prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said that his war cabinet had approved continuing an operation in Rafah.

A few hours earlier, Hamas announced it had accepted a ceasefire proposal put forward by mediators Egypt and Qatar. A ceasefire would end seven months of war in Gaza but a deal is uncertain after Israel responded by saying the proposal did not meet its “core demands”.

Meanwhile, US president Joe Biden warned Netanyahu against launching an offensive in Rafah as both leaders face growing public pressure to reach a ceasefire deal.

“The president doesn’t want to see operations in Rafah that put at greater risk the more than a million people that are seeking refuge there,” White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said.

More than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed in the war that started after Hamas launched an attack on Israel on 7 October killing 1,200 people.

Israeli forces take control of Gaza's Rafah crossing with Egypt

The Israeli military said it had established “operational control” over the Gaza side of the Rafah crossing overnight on Monday. Footage broadcast on Israeli media showed an Israeli flag flying on the Gaza side of the crossing, though the Israeli army refused to comment on the flag.

The military said it was carrying out “targeted strikes” in eastern Rafah and claimed to have killed 20 Hamas militants. An Israeli army official said the vast majority of the people who were staying in the evacuation zone have left.

The crossing, just south of Gaza City, was taken over by Israeli tanks, the Israeli Defense Forces and Palestinian officials said.

Wael Abu Omar, a spokesperson for the Palestinian Crossings Authority, said the crossing, the main entry of humanitarian aid to the Gaza strip, was out of service.

“The whole western area of Rafah has become a theater of operations since yesterday. The bombardment has not stopped,” said Abu Omar, adding that crews have fled the facilities because of the bombing.

I thought terrorists are stubborn, so they can beg for mercy?
Whenever you want to pity Palestinians, remember what their brothers and sisters did to Deborah here in Nigeria and how they were celebrating both young and old and boys and girls in hijab. The most peaceful way to live with islam is to make them the oppressed

What's the point of crossing into Egypt?
They only have issue with Hamas...you said Raffah crossing and I gave you a pointer, why are you trying to shift the goal post?
