Tonight there is fierce fighting now in northern Gaza as
Israeli forces also move deeper into the southern city of
Rafa.
And tonight we have learned there are American doctors trying
to get out AB CS Marcus Moore from Tel Aviv.
Fierce battles in Gaza tonight as IVF troops fight to
recapture a NT where they believe Hamas may have regrouped.
The assault in the north,
where aid groups say famine has taken hold,
comes at the same time Israeli forces are expanding their
operation in the southern city of Rafah.
Images show tanks moving into the city and new numbers
reveal the staggering exodus of nearly 360,000 people fleeing the
area since the first evacuation orders a week ago,
many of them families. The White House against any large
scale invasion of Rafa is adamant Israel does not have
a plan to protect the more than 1,000,000 people there,
even suggesting Israel has no exit strategy for this war
if Israel's military efforts are not accompanied by a political
plan for the future of Gaza.
Terrorists will keep coming back and Israel will remain under
threat.
And David, there is word tonight that a number of
American doctors and medical staff are stuck in Gaza because
the raffle crossing is closed.
It's one of the many reasons the US and other
countries are urgently trying to get that crossing reopened.
David. All right, Marcus Moore in Tel Aviv for us
again.
Thank you, Marcus.
