Israel 'carpet bombs' Rafah after Hamas accepts ceasefire proposal

Israel’s military is "carpet bombing" areas of eastern Rafah after ceasefire talks appeared to collapse on Monday night, according to Palestinian news agency Wafa. 

Israel bombed the eastern part of Rafah with warplanes and artillery, Wafa said. Locals reported flares in the night sky and dozens of reconnaissance drones flying overhead.

The news agency also said Israeli military vehicles are reportedly advancing towards the eastern separation fence of Rafah along Israel proper.
