Israeli strikes hit Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip as fighting rages unabated in the war between Israel and Hamas. Vowing to destroy Hamas, after the deadly October 7th attack that killed about 1,140 people in Israel, Israel has relentlessly bombarded Gaza and sent in ground troops in an offensive that has killed nearly 20,000 people, mostly women and children, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run Palestinian territory.
