Palestinians react next to the destruction after an Israeli strike where displaced people were staying in Rafah, Gaza Strip. Israeli tanks continued to bombard eastern and central areas of the city in southern Gaza on Monday, killing eight, local health officials said. Israel's top military prosecutor, however, called the air strike "very grave" and said an investigation was under way. Saudi Arabia also condemned the Israeli attack and Qatar said the Rafah strike could hinder efforts to mediate a ceasefire and hostage exchange. Israeli tanks have probed around the edges of Rafah, near the crossing point from Gaza into Egypt, since May 6 and have entered some of its eastern districts.
