Israel attacks cities, towns and refugee camps, killing up to 80 people and forcing thousands more to flee.
At least 20 Palestinians have been killed, including women and children, when an Israeli strike hit a residential building near Kuwait Specialty Hospital in Rafah as the besieged Gaza Strip reeled from a barrage of attacks throughout the day that killed dozens.
“The air strike has completely flattened the residential building that is full of displaced people,” Al Jazeera correspondent Tareq Abu Azzoum said, reporting on the aftermath of the Israeli strike on Thursday near Kuwaiti hospital.
“Until now, rescue operations by the ambulances and civil defence teams continue to pull the people from under the rubble.”
