Israeli forces advanced into the Shujayea neighborhood of northern Gaza on Sunday and pushed deeper into western and central Rafah in the south, killing at least six Palestinians and destroying several homes, residents said. Israeli tanks, which moved back into Shujayea four days ago, shelled houses, trapping residents inside, the residents said. The armed wing of Hamas and the allied Islamic Jihad reported fierce fighting in both Shujayea and Rafah.
