A strike on a home in Rafah killed at least 25 people, including women and children, and another strike killed at least three people, according to Associated Press journalists who saw the bodies arrive at two local hospitals earlier in the day.
The IDF has not commented specifically but said one of its strikes on the southern Gaza city killed a top Hamas money launderer.
It was not immediately clear if this was the same strike.
