Israeli strikes on the town of Rafah, at the southern tip of the Gaza Strip, killed 14 people and injured dozens of others overnight from Monday to Tuesday. The number three of the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas was killed last week during an Israeli army operation in Gaza, the White House announced Monday evening.
Joe Biden warned Benjamin Netanyahu that a major Israeli offensive in Rafah would be "a mistake", according to comments reported Monday. The Hamas Ministry of Health announced on Monday a new toll of 31,726 people killed in the Hamas-led Gaza Strip since the start of the war.
