Medics in the southern Gaza city say the strike hit an area of tents being used by displaced people.
An Israeli airstrike on Rafah has killed 22 people, local medics say, after Hamas launched rocket attacks towards Tel Aviv for the first time in months. The strike in on the southern Gaza city hit tents for displaced people, according to Palestinian medics. Footage from the scene shows heavy destruction. The initial report coming out of the territory said 22 people had been killed. A second report said that the dead and wounded numbered 'dozens'.
Hamas's military wing claimed responsibility for the attack. The Israeli military said eight projectiles crossed into Israel after being launched from the southern Gaza city of Rafah, where Israeli forces recently launched an incursion. Israel's Iron Dome defence system intercepted several of the missiles, it added.
