According to Palestinian sources, as cited by Abu Ali Express, IDF tanks have advanced northward along the coastal axis in the al-Shakoush area of Rafah, near the border with the Khan Yunis sector. No further details on the scope or purpose of the movement are yet available.
The al-Shakoush area sits on the border between the Rafah and Khan Yunis sectors in the southern Gaza Strip. The IDF has previously conducted operations in this area, including digging a 2-kilometer trench to separate the al-Mawasi coastal zones of the two cities, as The Zioneer reported on July 10. The current advance is reported by Palestinian channels via Abu Ali Express and has not been confirmed by the IDF. No reports of clashes or casualties have accompanied this report.
