Discover the latest on Israel's assault in Rafah amidst global calls for peace and ceasefire. #RafahAssault #GlobalOutcry

Amidst the escalating violence in Rafah, Israel remains undeterred by the UNSC's attempt to intervene and 'stop the killing.' Tanks have penetrated the city's center, while air strikes continue relentlessly despite international appeals for peace. With at least 66 people, including children, tragically losing their lives in the past four days, the situation remains dire in the besieged city. The US downplays the offensive, stating it's not a full-scale invasion, as experts reveal the use of US-made bombs in deadly strikes.

As the conflict intensifies, Israeli tanks are visibly advancing into central Rafah, contradicting global demands for a ceasefire. Algeria has proposed a UN Security Council resolution urging Israel to halt its military operations in Gaza. Amidst all this, the viral trend 'All Eyes on Rafah' takes social media by storm, shedding light on the crisis and garnering worldwide attention.

The 'All Eyes on Rafah' movement gained momentum online, with millions sharing AI-generated images and slogans calling for attention to the plight of the people in Rafah. This digital campaign highlights the urgency of the situation and the need for immediate action to protect civilians caught in the crossfire. Additionally, Israel's seizure of Gaza's border with Egypt adds a new dimension to the conflict, showcasing the expanding scope of the offensive.

In a striking turn of events, the White House closely monitors Israel's actions in Rafah and the aftermath of the deadly strikes. The demand for an immediate ceasefire grows louder, as the international community looks to the Security Council for resolution. Despite the challenges, the 'All Eyes on Rafah' movement remains a beacon of hope, rallying support and solidarity for those affected by the conflict.
