Israeli airstrikes killed more than a dozen civilians in Rafah, raising fears for more than a million Palestinians sheltering in the enclave.
Israel bombed at least four homes in Rafah on Wednesday, raising new fear among the more than a million Palestinians sheltering in the last refuge on the southern edge of the Gaza Strip that a long-threatened ground assault could be coming. One of the airstrikes killed 11 people from a single family, health officials said.
Just west of Gaza City in the enclave's north, seven people were killed in an airstrike on a house, health officials said. The Israeli military says it is targeting armed Hamas militants who use civilian buildings, including apartment blocks and hospitals, for cover. Hamas denies doing so.
