'Truly tragic': Palestinians inspect damage following Israeli strike south of Gaza City | AFP

Palestinians search through the rubble and mourn loved ones following an Israeli air strike on the Tel al-Hawa area, south of Gaza City, in which five people were killed, according to Gaza's civil defence agency. The Israeli military has declared Gaza City "a dangerous combat zone" ahead of a looming offensive to conquer the Palestinian territory's largest city after almost two years of devastating war.
