At least 35 people were killed in an Israeli strike in Rafah on Sunday, the Gaza health ministry said. The strike hit a camp for displaced people, according to Gaza authorities.
The IDF claimed it struck a Hamas compound in the area, killing two senior officials from the militant group. Sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and parts of central Israel on Sunday after rockets were fired at the city for the first time in months, according to the Israeli military. Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack.
Ceasefire and hostage talks are set to resume next week, officials say. Talks between Israel and Hamas have stalled, with both parties failing to reach an agreement over differences on key demands.
Israel’s government is facing an unprecedented level of diplomatic pressure over its war in Gaza, while also dealing with dissent at home. Protesters clashed with police in Tel Aviv Saturday night after a day of rallies calling for a ceasefire and the return of hostages.
