GAZA, May 8 (Xinhua) -- Israel launched airstrikes in the southernmost Gazan city of Rafah on Tuesday amid talks held in the Egyptian capital of Cairo aimed at achieving a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned on Tuesday that if the ongoing ceasefire negotiations in Cairo fail, Israel will escalate its military assault on Rafah.
Delegations from Hamas, Israel, Qatar and the United States arrived in Cairo on Tuesday in an effort to reach a ceasefire deal.
