Israel carried out airstrikes on residential homes in Rafah, Gaza, resulting in the deaths of at least 11 people from a single family, raising fears of an impending ground assault. The bombings intensified despite a U.N. Security Council resolution for a ceasefire. Additional airstrikes in Rafah and Gaza City killed more civilians, while clashes in the West Bank led to casualties. The conflict between Israel and Hamas has caused significant civilian casualties and displacement, with both sides refusing to compromise on their demands for a resolution.
