Smoke billows after an strike on Rafah in the Gaza Strip near the border with Egypt, amid the ongoing battles between Israel and Hamas militants. Fighting rages on in Gaza, more than a month after Hamas's shock October 7 attack triggered a furious response from Israel aimed at destroying the Islamist militant group. More than 1,400 people, mostly civilians, were killed in Israel in the attack, according to Israeli officials. In Gaza, upwards of 10,500 people, also mostly civilians, have been killed in the war, the health ministry in the Hamas-run Palestinian territory has said. IMAGES
