According to Palestinian officials, Israel carried out new strikes in Gaza on the third anniversary of the Oct 7 Hamas attack, killing five people.

It’s perhaps the most dramatic wound inflicted on the Gaza Strip by Israel’s military campaign over the past three years: The city of Rafah, once home to a quarter million people, has been erased. Satellite imagery shows the Israeli military has systematically razed the southern city and other towns and districts to the ground and in some places plowed away the rubble.
