Hospitals in Gaza reported that Israeli missile strikes killed at least 12 Palestinians on Saturday. This is one of the highest death tolls since a ceasefire deal was signed in October. The strikes hit northern and southern Gaza, including an apartment building in Gaza City and a tent camp in Khan Younis, hospital officials said. Among the dead were two women and six children from two families. Israeli planes continued attacks, and the army warned people to evacuate a building in Khan Younis ahead of a possible strike. This happened a day before the Rafah border crossing in Gaza’s south is expected to open. The crossing is vital since all other borders have been closed since the war began. Palestinians rely on Rafah for medical treatment outside Gaza, as most local hospitals were damaged by Israeli bombings. Israel plans to allow only about 150 Palestinians daily through Rafah. Shifa hospital said an Israeli strike killed a mother, three children, and another relative in Gaza City. Nasser hospital in Khan Younis reported seven deaths in a tent camp fire caused by a strike, including a father and six of his family members. Gaza’s health ministry counted more than 500 Palestinians killed by Israeli attacks since the ceasefire started on 10 October. Israel’s military has not yet responded to questions about the strikes. Despite many violations, the ceasefire is moving to a tougher second phase. This phase includes demands for Hamas to disarm and hand power to a peace board appointed by former US President Donald Trump. Trump's Gaza plan, shown by his son-in-law Jared Kushner, involves large development projects like skyscrapers along the Mediterranean. However, most of Gaza remains destroyed with broken infrastructure after years of bombings that killed over 70,000 Palestinians. A UN commission found Israel guilty of genocide in Gaza last year.
