Sounds of apparent gunfire were reported early Tuesday morning local time at the Rafah border crossing from the Egyptian side. The incident was captured in a recording from Egyptian state TV channel a news.
The looped bump shot displayed a checkpoint with no individuals visible in the frame. The gunshots were heard around 1:33 a.m. local time, as per the state broadcaster's report.
It remains unclear whether this signifies the commencement of ground operations in Rafah. The source mentioned in the report could not independently verify whether the sound captured was indeed gunfire or provide information on its origin.
