Good thing there weren't any red lines in it's way, or else they might have been crossed.

Biden: "No line has been crossed" (turns to aide: "Quick, remove all lines in Rafah now!")

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Several Israeli tanks have reportedly reached Rafah city center on Tuesday, eyewitnesses told Reuters.

The tanks were spotted near Al-Awda mosque, a central Rafah landmark, the witnesses said.

The Jerusalem Post contacted the IDF, but the Israeli military declined to comment on the development, choosing instead to defer the Reuters report.

This news follows extensive reports that the IDF succeeded in evacuating around 950,000 Palestinian civilians in only two weeks since May 6.

The IDF push into central Rafah comes amid a deteriorating humanitarian situation in the southern Gazan city.

The Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry stated on Tuesday that both the Indonesian Field Hospital and the Tal Al-Sultan Clinic in Rafah have closed, leaving only the Tal Al-Sultan Maternity Hospital open.
