Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry says that at least 92 people have been killed overnight, including in what the terror group’s media office claims was an Israeli airstrike of a kindergarten in Rafah where displaced people were sheltering.

There was no immediate response from the IDF over the claim. The figure could not be independently verified.

Hundreds of thousands of Gazans have poured into the southermost city of Rafah to escape fighting elsewhere in the Strip and after the IDF has urged them to evacuate other areas in the months since Israel’s war against Hamas began.
