PALESTINIAN-ISRAEL-CONFLICT

Palestinians inspect the damages amid the rubble following Israeli bombardment in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip on December 13, 2023, as battles continue between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas. Israel came under pressure on December 13 from its allies over its war in Gaza, with key backer the United States criticising its bombing in response to the October 7 attacks as "indiscriminate".
