Rafah (Palestinian Territories) (AFP) – Palestinians pull a dead boy out from the rubble and bury the victims in a recently opened cemetery after Israeli strikes on the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. International concern is mounting over a long-feared Israeli ground invasion of Rafah, where many Gazans fleeing the fighting have been displaced, with dire warnings of mass civilian casualties. Israel insists the proposed operation will help it achieve “total victory” over Hamas “within weeks”.
