An Israeli strike killed dozens of people sheltering in the city of Rafah on Sunday evening. The strike hit an area that Israel had designated a safe zone, and the attack came just two days after the International Court of Justice on Friday ordered Israel to “immediately halt its military offensive in Rafah.” More than seven months after Israel launched its war on Gaza to destroy Hamas and free the hostages captured in the group’s brazen attack Oct.

In Gaza City, for example, Israel’s ground invasion culminated with an assault on its Shifa Hospital where it believed Hamas had its command and control headquarters.
