Satellite photos analyzed by The Associated Press on Tuesday appear to show a new compound of tents being built near Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip as the Israeli military continues to signal plans for an offensive targeting the city of Rafah.
Images from Planet Labs PBC analyzed by the AP show the tent compound starting to be fully under construction on April 16 just west of Khan Younis. Images taken Sunday show the tent compound has grown since then.
The Haaretz newspaper, without attributing the information, said Egypt was constructing the tent compound ahead of a possible Rafah offensive by Israel.
