Despite repeatedly urging the Israeli government to provide more information about a devastating strike on a town in northern Gaza that killed dozens of civilians this week, Biden administration officials say they have not yet received an explanation for the attack's staggering toll on civilian lives.

A Palestinian medic was transporting dead bodies following an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza refugee camp on Wednesday when he realized that one of them was his mother. An Israeli strike on a car in central Gaza’s Maghazi Refugee Camp killed three people and injured 10 others, according to Palestinian Health officials and Associated Press journalists.
