Palestinian medics say 22 killed in Gaza as Israel fights on two fronts
Israeli military strikes across the Gaza Strip killed at least 22 Palestinians on Tuesday, medics said, as Israeli forces battled Hamas-led fighters in Rafah, near the border with Egypt. The violence in Gaza came as fighting intensified between Israel and the Iran-backed forces of Hezbollah across Israel's border with Lebanon - a parallel conflict that had stoked fears of an all-out war in the Middle East.
