Rafah, Palestinian Territories: Heavy clashes and bombardment Saturday rocked Gaza's southern city of Rafah, witnesses said, as the US military announced the first 310 pallets of humanitarian aid had entered the besieged territory via a US-built pier.
More than 10 days into the operation in Rafah, fighting has also flared again in Gaza's north.
The Kuwaiti hospital said an overnight Israeli strike killed two people in a displacement camp in Rafah, with witnesses reporting heavy gunfire and shelling in the city's southeast and jets bombarding its eastern areas.
AFP correspondents, witnesses and medics said there were intense battles overnight in the northern Jabalia refugee camp.
The Israeli incursion into Rafah, launched despite overwhelming international opposition and as mediators were hoping for a breakthrough in stalled truce talks, has worsened an already dire humanitarian crisis, aid groups say.
