Israel's PM Benjamin Netanyahu has denied reports of a ceasefire to allow "foreigners out" of south Gaza and "humanitarian aid in"

US media had reported that Egypt could reopen the Rafah crossing for several hours from 09:00 local time (06:00 GMT) - but it is currently closed

Thousands of people are gathering there in the hope of leaving Gaza ahead of an expected Israeli ground offensive

US nationals in Gaza had previously been told to move closer to the crossing, while US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said it "will be open" for aid without giving timings

Meanwhile, the Israeli military says it is evacuating 28 communities within 2km (1.24 miles) of the Lebanese border

Australian government has apparently sent messages to citizens in Gaza telling them to go to the Rafah crossing and they'll be let out.

Wonder if they'll take any responsibility for the deaths and injuries when Israel bombs it again...

Hamas is surrounding itself with civilians. I wouldn’t be surprised if the leaders are filling their houses and bases of operation with women and children.
