Khan Younis and The City of Rafah, on The Border with Egypt, were some of the places hit with heavy air strikes, with The Next phase of the offensive likely to Focus On southern Gaza.

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have sought shelter in the area, after being told to flee the north of The Territory , which was Israel's main target in the early stages of The War .
