Israel's overnight strikes in Rafah, part of a promised military incursion, resulted in at least 23 casualties, including six women and five children, as per hospital records cited by Reuters. Mohamed Abu Amra, who lost five relatives, lamented the devastation, asserting innocence: "We did nothing…we don't have Hamas." The US State Department responded to the Israeli army's control of Rafah crossing, emphasizing the importance of a hostage deal for an immediate ceasefire and increased humanitarian aid in Gaza. The attacks escalate tensions, highlighting the urgent need for diplomatic solutions to prevent further civilian suffering.
