On Friday, fuel tankers entered Gaza through the Rafah crossing, shortly after the Israeli government announced it would allow two tankers a day into the territory. The move came after Washington urged Tel Aviv to give the green light for the tankers to enter Gaza, with the State Department saying about 140,000 liters of fuel would be allowed in every two days.
In a separate development on Friday, the Palestinian Health Ministry quoted unnamed medical sources as saying that most hospitals and medical clinics in Gaza were closed due to damage from Israeli strikes or lack of fuel.
Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has warned that it will advance wherever Hamas is found, including the southern part of the Palestinian territory.
