Israeli strikes on Gaza kill 26, including Hamas official
Briefly

Israeli military strikes in southern Gaza led to at least 26 Palestinian deaths, including civilians, amid reports of forced evacuations in Rafah. Israel's government is implementing a controversial plan for the 'voluntary departure' of Palestinians, raising concerns about potential violations of international law. As the conflict escalates, residents are fleeing their homes under threat of violence, with many displaced multiple times. Local voices express despair over the situation as injuries and chaos grow amidst ongoing military actions.
Late Saturday, Israel's Cabinet approved a proposal to set up a new directorate tasked with advancing the 'voluntary departure' of Palestinians in line with U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to depopulate Gaza and rebuild it for others.
In Rafah on Sunday, Palestinian men, women and children could be seen walking along a dirt road and carrying their belongings in their arms, a recurring scene in a war that has forced most of Gaza's population to flee within the territory, often multiple times.
