Israeli air strike resulted in 45 deaths

Health officials in Gaza reported that an Israeli air strike in Rafah on Sunday claimed the lives of at least 45 people. As civilian casualties mount in Gaza, international criticism is escalating.

According to the Israeli government, initial reports indicate that a fire broke out after the attack, resulting in civilian casualties. The strike occurred following the International Court of Justice's issuance of provisional measures directing Israel to cease its offensive in Rafah immediately.
