Residents said the bombing was the heaviest since an Israeli raid on the city 10 days ago.
GAZA – Israeli bombs flattened a mosque and destroyed homes in Rafah in what residents called one of their worst nights yet, while the head of the militant group Hamas was in Cairo for talks Gazans hope could bring a truce in time to head off a full-blown assault on Rafah.
The Al-Farouk mosque in the centre of Rafah was flattened into slabs of concrete, with the facades of adjacent buildings blasted away. The authorities said four houses were struck in the south of the city and three in the centre.freed two hostages“We couldn’t sleep. The sounds of explosions and planes roaring overhead didn’t stop,” said Mr Jehad Abuemad, 34, who is staying with his family in a tent. “We could hear children crying in nearby tents. People here are desperate and defenceless.
Hamas, which is still believed to be holding more than 100 hostages seized in the Oct 7 attack, says it will not free them unless Israel agrees to end the fighting and withdraw from Gaza. Israel says it will not withdraw until Hamas is eradicated. Mr Sami Abu Zuhri, a senior Hamas official, told Reuters that Israel was now backtracking on terms it had already accepted at the start of February in a ceasefire offer hammered out with the United States and Egyptian and Qatari mediators in Paris.

Biden Shifts Rhetoric on Israel-Hamas War, Emphasizing Need for Temporary CeasefireAn Israeli offensive in Rafah, where more than a million Palestinians have sought refuge, would complicate efforts toward a halt in the war. United States President Joe Biden spent months wanting a “pause” in the fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. But with Israel preparing for a ground offensive in Rafah, his rhetoric is shifting to emphasise the need for a “temporary ceasefire”. It sounds like a slight rhetorical difference, but it is one that inches Mr Biden closer to many around the world and to critics within his own Democratic Party who want a permanent ceasefire to a war in which nearly 30,000 Palestinians have been killed. The most recent two vetoes blocked language demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. But Washington has now proposed its own draft resolution enshrining the word “ceasefire”. The draft calls for a temporary ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war linked to the release of hostages held by Hamas and opposes a major ground offensive by its ally Israel in Rafah, according to the text seen by Reuters.
