The death toll\u2064 could rise due to\u200c ongoing \u2063rescue operations in the city&#8217;s Tal\u2063 al-Sultan\u2063 neighborhood. The attack site was identified as\u200b a humanitarian area by Israel. Of note, the\u200b incident occurred just \u2063two\u200b days after the International Court of Justice ordered \u2062Israel to end \u200bits \u2063military interventions in Rafah. Concurrently, missiles were launched from Gaza towards Tel Aviv. The Israeli military reported the interception and elimination of some rockets and the destruction\u200b of a launcher in Rafah. Despite the ongoing conflict, aid was delivered to \u200cGaza from southern Israel, \u2062but it&#8217;s unclear whether humanitarian groups can access it amidst the fighting. As \u200ba side note, Egypt refuses to reopen its side \u2064of the Rafah crossing \u2064until Palestinian control \u200bis re-established \u2063on the\u200d Gaza side.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) \u2014<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/palestinian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Palestinian<\/a> medics said 22 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike Sunday on the southern <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gaza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Gaza<\/a> city of Rafah that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hilarious-anti-israel-protesters-at-harvard-struck-by-2-a-m-sprinklers-during-very-cold-night\/\" title=\"Funny: Harvard Anti-Israel Protesters Drenched by 2 A.M.

Hamas\u2019 military wing claimed the attack. Palestinian militants have sporadically fired rockets and mortar rounds at communities along the Gaza border, and the military arm of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group later Sunday said it fired rockets at nearby communities.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli military said eight projectiles crossed into Israel after being launched from <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/rafah\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Rafah<\/a>, where Israeli forces recently launched an incursion. It said \u201ca number\u201d of the projectiles were intercepted, and military spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said the launcher in Rafah was destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier on Sunday, aid trucks entered Gaza from southern Israel under a new agreement to bypass the Rafah crossing with Egypt after Israeli forces seized the Palestinian side of it earlier this month. But it was not immediately clear if humanitarian groups could access the aid because of fighting.<\/p>\n<p>Egypt refuses to reopen its side of the Rafah crossing until control of the Gaza side is handed back to Palestinians. It agreed to temporarily divert traffic through Israel\u2019s Kerem Shalom crossing, Gaza\u2019s main cargo terminal, after a call between U.S. President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Joe-Biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden<\/a> and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi.<\/p>\n<p>But the Kerem Shalom crossing has been largely inaccessible because of Israel\u2019s offensive in Rafah. Israel says it has allowed hundreds of trucks to enter, but United Nations agencies say it is usually too dangerous to retrieve the aid.<\/p>\n<p>The war between Israel and Hamas has killed nearly 36,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza\u2019s Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and fighters in its count. The Health Ministry said the bodies of 81 people killed by Israeli strikes had been brought to hospitals over the past 24 hours. Israel blames civilian deaths on Hamas because the militants operate in dense, residential areas.<\/p>\n<p>Around 80% of Gaza\u2019s 2.3 million people have fled their homes, severe hunger is widespread and U.N. officials say parts of the territory <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/gaza-famine-world-food-program-israel-hamas-war-476941bf2dc259f85a706408b2a665ff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>are experiencing famine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hamas triggered the war with its <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/israel-hamas-war-news-hostages-0c14750240138853a70e38b0c09ef157\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Oct. 7 attack on Israel<\/a>, in which Palestinian militants killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and seized some 250 hostages.
