Israeli air strikes overnight killed 24 Palestinians in the southern Gazan city of Rafah, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said.

The two airstrikes late Sunday and early Monday targeted two houses in Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city on the coastal enclave’s frontier with Egypt, it said. The ministry as well as local reports said most of the dead were women and children.
