Israel’s wartime government approved a military operation in the southern Gaza city, hours after Hamas said it accepted a ceasefire offer from Egypt and Qatar.
An AFP correspondent reported heavy shelling in Rafah the night before talks on a cease-fire offer are due on Tuesday, which include three steps: the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip, the return of Palestinians displaced by the war and the exchange of hostages and prisoners with the aim of achieving a “permanent truce”.
Both a Palestinian security official and an Egyptian official, speaking on condition of anonymity, revealed that Israeli tanks had entered Rafah, coming just 200 meters from the Egyptian border.
An Egyptian official confirmed that the operation was apparently limited. He and Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV channel reported that Israeli officials had informed Egypt that the soldiers would be withdrawn after the operation was over.
The Israeli army has not made further comments.
On Monday, the Israeli army said it had ordered the evacuation of around 100,000 people from eastern Rafah ahead of an expected attack on the southern Gaza city.
On Sunday, four Israeli soldiers were killed when Hamas militants fired shells into southern Israel near the Rafah border crossing.
The White House on Monday continued to express concern to US ally Israel about the catastrophic consequences of a large-scale military operation in the densely populated areas of Rafah.
A truce would bring an end to the seven-month war in the Gaza Strip, but it is unclear whether it can be agreed upon. Israel stressed that the mediators’ cease-fire offer did not meet its “basic demands”.
More than a million people, fleeing the Israeli military offensive in other parts of the Gaza Strip, have crowded into tents and overcrowded apartments in Rafah. Israel says Rafah is Hamas’ last stronghold, but Israel’s closest ally the United States opposes a full-scale invasion of the city, which borders Egypt, unless Israel comes up with a “credible” plan to protect civilians in the city.
The war in the Gaza Strip has forced about 80% of the territory’s 2.3 million inhabitants from their homes, and extensive damage has been caused to apartments, hospitals, mosques and schools in several cities. According to the data of the Hamas-controlled Gaza health authorities, the death toll in the territory exceeds 34,500 people.
The war began on October 7, when “Hamas” carried out a massacre in southern Israel, killing around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping another 250 people. Israel says the militants are still holding around 100 hostages, while more than 30 others have died in captivity.

The cause of the accident
Currently, the case is in the so-called investigation mode, which means that the detectives have not yet charged anyone. Police on Mondays only confirmed the child’s death. “A minor child succumbed to severe injuries. We will not disclose further information until the end of the investigation,” stated police spokeswoman Michaela Lébrová.

At the moment, according to the information provided by Deník, the investigators are working with the version that the driver committed the crime of manslaughter due to the violation of an important duty.
What specifically happened on the road, and why the foreigner drove off the road, is not yet clear. It could also be that he could have been dazzled by the sun.

In addition to the 30 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine ordered from AstraZeneca, Vietnam has also sporadically received the AstraZeneca vaccine through sponsorship programs. These vaccines contribute to the success of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign to prevent the COVID-19 epidemic in 2022.

Faced with the news that the AstraZeneca vaccine against COVID-19 is being accused of causing rare effects that can lead to blood clots, many people who have received this vaccine are worried.
However, Associate Professor Dr. Pham Quang Thai – Head of the Northern Vaccination Office, Central Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology – said: AstraZeneca vaccine has announced that their vaccine can cause some rare side effects such as thrombocytopenia and blood clot formation, but this phenomenon is extremely rare and only appears shortly after injection. Meanwhile, our last injection was about 2 years ago.
During the initial deployment of this vaccine in European countries, it was also observed that a certain percentage of people had thrombosis after vaccination. The European Medicines Committee has stopped vaccinations to conduct inspections. However, after examining the results, it showed that the difference in the rate of people with thrombosis before and after the implementation of the vaccination campaign was very low and almost not statistically significant.
In Vietnam, there have been tens of millions of doses of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine vaccinated in Vietnam, but only a few cases of side effects related to post-vaccination thrombosis have been recorded. The rate is quite low. The recorded thrombosis problem basically only occurred within 28 days after vaccination. Vietnam has stopped implementing COVID-19 vaccination for a long time. There is currently no recommendation that vaccinated people have a higher risk of blood clots than non-vaccinated people.
In addition, many people are worried and want to have tests done to look for blood clots or measure platelet counts. However, experts say that this is unnecessary at this time because it is expensive and not for the right purpose.
Astrazeneca vaccine has been researched and developed by Oxford University in the UK since April 2020 with clinical trials in the UK, Brazil, and South Africa on healthy volunteers and then expanded to medical staff who have risk of exposure to CoV for people over 18 years old.
Astrazeneca vaccine uses a viral vector (also known as an intermediate virus) to create immunity against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Unlike vaccines from Pfizer or Moderna, these are molecules that, thanks to nanotechnology, are able to directly carry mRNA encoding the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. When entering the body, it stimulates the production of spike protein, thereby creating an immune response. However, mRNA is easily denatured, so it needs to be stored at minus -20 degrees Celsius while Astrazeneca’s vaccine can be stored at 2-8 degrees Celsius.
