RAFAH, Palestinian Territories – Israel struck the Gaza Strip anew on Saturday after renewed United States criticism over its conduct of the war and a United Nations warning of an 'epic' disaster if an outright invasion of Rafah occurs.

Agence France-Presse (AFP) journalists reported Israeli strikes in various sectors of the coastal Palestinian territory, where the UN says aid is blocked after Israeli troops defied international opposition and entered eastern Rafah this week, effectively shutting two crossings.
