Over 100 Palestinians, including at least 35 children, were killed in Israeli airstrikes on Rafah despite an ongoing truce, escalating tensions in the region. The strikes came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered his military to carry out “powerful” attacks on Gaza, targeting homes, hospitals, and refugee camps. Gaza authorities condemned the attacks as a grave violation of international law and called for an immediate ceasefire and protection for civilians. The deadly escalation has drawn global concern amid fragile peace efforts.
