Israeli strikes hit locations throughout Gaza, including an apartment building in Gaza City and a tent camp in Khan Younis, officials at hospitals that received the bodies said. An airstrike also hit a police station in Gaza City, killing at least 14 and wounding others, Shifa Hospital director Mohamed Abu Selmiya said. Samir Al-Atbash told The Associated Press he was "stunned" when he heard his nieces, aunt and cousin were among the dead. "They were asleep; we found them in the street. The neighbor told me they found them in the street," he said. Other relatives were seen mourning and praying over their dead loved ones in Gaza City. Israel’s military, which has struck targets on both sides of the ceasefire’s dividing line, said its attacks since October have been responses to violations of the agreement. It said in a statement that Saturday’s strikes followed what it described as ceasefire violations a day earlier, when the army killed at least four militants emerging from a tunnel in an Israeli-controlled area of Rafah. The series of strikes came a day before the Rafah crossing along the border with Egypt is set to reopen. All of the territory’s border crossings have been closed throughout almost the entire war. Palestinians see Rafah as a lifeline for the tens of thousands in need of treatment outside the territory, where the majority of medical infrastructure has been destroyed. The crossing's opening, limited at first, marks the first major step in the second phase of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
