Israeli army shelled the Gaza Strip where dozens of people were killed this Sunday, February 4. Fears grew in the face of a possible military offensive against the overcrowded town of Rafah.
More than a million displaced Palestinians fear another Israeli military attack. A proposed humanitarian pause in Gaza and an exchange of Palestinian hostages and prisoners would be considered. The human toll, still provisional, from retaliatory strikes launched by the United States against pro-Iranian groups shows 16 dead in Iraq and more than 23 dead in Syria.
