top newsImage Palestinian families at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in Gaza on Friday mourning victims of an Israeli military strike on the Al-Mawasi area farther south. The Israeli military said its initial inquiry showed “no indication” of a strike within the safer zone. Gazan authorities said it was an Israeli military strike. The Red Cross statement did not say who was responsible, but described “heavy-caliber projectiles,” suggesting the kinds of weapons used by Israel, not Hamas. Rafah, which borders Egypt, has been the focal point of the Israeli military campaign since early May.
