Relatives mourn the victims of the Israeli air strikes in Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip

At least 23 Palestinians, including six women and five children as young as three, were killed in multiple Israeli strikes on Tuesday night, according to hospital records seen by The Associated Press. It came as the Israeli military launched an offensive against the Gaza Strip’s southernmost city, where 1.4 million Palestinians are seeking refuge. (AP video by Mohammad Jahjouh and Wafaa Shurafa)
