Three Israeli soldiers have been killed in a Hamas rocket attack

Three Israeli soldiers have been killed in a Hamas rocket attack near one of the main crossings used to deliver aid into Gaza, Israel has said.

The Kerem Shalom crossing was closed overnight by Israel following the strike.

Subsequent Israeli strikes in the southern Gazan city of Rafah have reportedly killed at least 12 people.

Israel’s military said that it was urging Gazans sheltering in parts of Rafah to evacuate.

It comes as talks aimed at securing a ceasefire deal in Gaza and the release of hostages have stalled.
