An anti-tank guided missile was launched from the Gaza Strip toward the Kissufim area on the border, injuring several people, according to Army Radio. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said Palestinian terrorists “opened fire” at troops operating near the southern community of Kissufim. A French news agency has claimed that fuel trucks entered the Gaza Strip through the Rafah border crossing for the first time since the war began, a claim Israel has denied. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu visited the Commando Brigade in northern Israel, saying Israel is involved in a “double battle”. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the US sees potential for escalation of war in the Middle East due to the actions of Iran’s proxies.
