Israeli warplanes have struck Gaza's southern city of Rafah, despite US President Joe Biden's warning to halt artillery supplies if a full-scale assault continues. The strikes have caused widespread destruction and civilian casualties, prompting international condemnation. Biden criticized Israel's conduct, saying "civilians have been killed... it's just wrong." The US has grown increasingly critical of Israel's actions, straining their alliance. Pro-Palestinian protests have erupted across US universities, demanding an end to the violence. The Gaza war began with a Hamas attack on Israel in October, killing over 1,170 people, mostly civilians.
