Israeli strikes across Gaza killed at least 67 Palestinians overnight and into Wednesday, including in areas where civilians have been told to seek refuge.

The protests come at a crucial time for India which is gearing up for national election in the coming months, with the prime minister’s ruling party widely expected to secure a third successive term.
