Fighting between Israeli military and Hamas militants continues near the Gaza city of Rafah.

On Thursday, smoke could be seen rising above a Kuwaiti hospital in Rafah. On Friday, flares were seen illuminating the night sky nearby.

Israel’s move into Rafah has been short of the full-scale invasion that it has planned. The United States is deeply opposed to a major offensive and is stepping up pressure by threatening to withhold arms to Israel.

The U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA, said more than 110,000 people have fled Rafah. Families who have already moved multiple times during the war packed up to go again. One woman held a cat in her arms as she sat in the back of a truck piled with her family’s belongings about to head out.

LiveNOW's Austin Westfall spoke about the Rafah operation with former Marine Corps intelligence officer Hal Kempfer.
