Among other things, residential buildings and a vehicle were attacked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Israeli military had previously warned residents of the Tal al-Sultan district in Rafah that the military would &#8220;launch an offensive against terrorist organizations&#8221; there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Residents were called upon to flee the combat zone.
