Live Updates: IDF tanks moving towards central Rafah, reports say

IDF ground forces on Saturday evening entered the Jabalia "refugee" camp in the northern Gaza Strip once again in an attempt to prevent Hamas from restoring its rule in the camp. During the day, the IAF and IDF artillery bombarded buildings known to be housing Hamas terrorists with thousands of kilograms of explosives. Explosions were heard all the way in central Israel.
