The Ministry of Health in Gaza says at least 35 Palestinians were killed and dozens more were injured as a result of Israeli air attacks on a camp in Rafah for displaced people
Women and children are amongst those killed, the ministry said.
At least 12 people have been killed after Israeli forces attacked a home in the Jabalia al-Nazlh area in northern Gaza.
The Israeli army has said eight rockets were launched from the Rafah area in southern Gaza at central Israel.
A “strong” Palestinian Authority is needed to bring peace in the Middle East, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell says.
At least one civilian was killed and another injured in the Israeli drone attack, which hit a motorcycle in southern Lebanon’s Aita al-Shaab, according to Lebanon’s NNA news agency.

Israel ‘cannot exist without… Palestinian state’: Saudi Arabia
Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin-Farhan has said after meetings with Arab and European counterparts in Brussels that it is very concerning that Israel does not recognise that the security it seeks comes through a two-state solution.
“It is absolutely necessary that Israel accepts that it cannot exist without the existence of a Palestinian state,” the top Saudi diplomat told reporters.
“That its security is served by building a Palestinian state. So we hope sincerely that the leaders of Israel will realise that it is in their interest to work with the international community, not just to strengthen the Palestinian Authority but to establish a Palestinian state along the 1967 borders.”
The US congresswoman has delivered her harshest rebuke yet of the administration of President Joe Biden during a speech at a Detroit pro-Palestine conference.
“Attacking the authority of the International Criminal Court and interfering in legal processes is nothing more than an attempt to prevent the genocidal maniac Netanyahu and his senior Israeli officials for being held accountable for crimes against humanity.”
“You are an enabler, President Biden,” Tlaib said to applause.
The first Palestinian-American woman to serve in Congress added that the US position that no genocide is taking place in Gaza amounts to “shielding murderous criminal Netanyahu and the Israeli government”.
