3 Israeli soldiers killed in Rafah booby trap explosion, media say, as offensive widens
The Israeli military reported on Wednesday that three soldiers had died in Rafah. According to Israeli media, three additional soldiers were hurt and the soldiers themselves perished when a booby trap detonated on Tuesday. Since the ground campaign in Gaza started in October, at least 290 troops have lost their lives, according to the IDF.
According to Israel, it is conducting restricted operations along the Gaza–Egypt border in eastern Rafah. Israeli forces continued their assault on Rafah, a border town that was previously thought to be the last remaining shelter in the region. Palestinians in Rafah reported severe fighting on Wednesday. Israel's allies, including the United States, have cautioned against launching a full-scale offensive in the city.
According to Israeli officials, in order to destroy Hamas and free the hostages kidnapped in October, their forces must infiltrate Rafah.

Over a million Palestinians have fled the fighting in Rafah; the majority of them were already displaced due to the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The U.N. reports that they are currently seeking safety in filthy tent camps and other regions devastated by conflict, where they are without food, water, shelter, and other necessities for survival.
The Health Ministry, which does not differentiate between fighters and civilians, reports that over 36,000 Palestinians have been killed as a result of Israeli bombardments and ground offensives in Gaza.
Following Hamas' Oct. 7 raid, in which militants poured into southern Israel, killing around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping nearly 250 more, Israel began its war in Gaza. According to Israel, around thirty additional captives' bodies and about one hundred hostages remain in captivity in Gaza.

ARMY SAYS 3 ISRAELI SOLDIERS WERE KILLED IN RAFAH
Israel's TEL AVIV The Israeli military reported on Wednesday that three troops had died in the ongoing battle in Rafah, the southernmost city in Gaza.
Three additional soldiers were hurt, according to Israeli media, which also stated that the soldiers were killed when a booby trap detonated on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, Palestinians reported intense violence in several Rafah neighbourhoods. Israel's assault appears to be expanding, forcing more than a million people to leave the city. Most had been forced to flee early in the conflict.
On May 6, Israel purportedly began a modest operation into Rafah with the goal of near the border between Gaza and Egypt, which it claims Hamas has traditionally used to transfer weapons. It claims that although the terrorists have relocated around Gaza, Rafah is still the organization's principal base.
Since the ground campaign in Gaza started in October, at least 290 troops have lost their lives, according to the IDF.
Growing calls for a cease-fire and much needed assistance in Gaza are joined by IFRC.
Philippines' Manila The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies stated on Wednesday that in order to alleviate the terrible suffering of people imprisoned in the seven-month conflict, a cease-fire and access for humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip were imperative.
In an interview with The Associated Press in the Philippines, IFRC President Kate Forbes stated, "It's absolutely imperative."Manila, the country's capital, will be the venue of her meetings. "We would provide relief to both sides, but first we need a government solution to secure a cease-fire so that we can gain access.”
As displaced people are impacted, Palestinian medics report that 35 people are killed by Israeli airstrikes in Rafah, Gaza.
Forbes, who became president of the largest humanitarian network in the world in December, stated that certain regions require "psychosocial support and in some, it's going to be absolute aid."
This is a sprint as well as a marathon, as I've stated. Because there is inadequate sanitation and malnutrition, we must send relief to Gaza right once, the speaker stated. However, it will be a marathon because there will be assistance that will be required for many years to rebuild Gaza and its inhabitants.
