The Israeli military said its air force struck a Hamas compound in Rafah and that the strike was carried out with"precise ammunition and on the basis of precise intelligence". It took out Hamas' chief of staff for the West Bank and another senior official behind deadly attacks on Israelis, it said.
The International Committee of the Red Cross said its field hospital in Rafah was receiving an influx of casualties, and that other hospitals also were taking in a large number of patients. A number of the projectiles were intercepted, the Israeli military said. There were no reports of casualties. Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz said the rockets fired from Rafah"prove that the must operate in every place Hamas still operates from".
Efforts to agree a halt to the fighting and return more than 120 hostages have been blocked for weeks but there were some signs of movement this weekend following meetings between Israeli and U.S. intelligence officials and Qatar's prime minister. While Israel is seeking the return of hostages, Netanyahu has repeatedly said the war will not end until Hamas, which is sworn to Israel's destruction, is eliminated.Khaled Zayed of the Egyptian Red Crescent told Reuters 200 trucks of aid, including four fuel trucks, were expected to enter Gaza on Sunday through Kerem Shalom.
