Medics in the southern Gaza city say the strikes hit an area of tents being used by displaced people. The Israeli military said it struck a Hamas compound with 'precise ammunition and on the basis of precise intelligence'.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said an airstrike on the southern Gazan city of Rafah which reportedly killed 45 people on Sunday was a 'tragic mistake'. The strike in the southern Gaza city hit tents for displaced people, according to Palestinian medics. Footage from the scene shows heavy destruction. Mr Netanyahu's comments come as Israel faces global condemnation for Sunday's attack, including by the US, one of its closest allies.
The situation in Gaza is 'beyond catastrophic', the humanitarian leader at Oxfam has told Sky News. Magnus Corfixen said: 'We are basically seeing an increase in indiscriminate attacks from Israel since the ICJ ruling. 'The situation is beyond horrific.' He said 'more people will be losing their lives' with Israel's military offensive and many of those affected were women and children. 'Things will just keep on getting worse,' he added.
