STORYLINE:
An Israeli strike on the city of Rafah on the southern edge of the Gaza Strip killed at least three people, while another on a refugee camp also killed three people, hospital officials said Saturday.
The overnight strikes on Rafah and Nuseirat came as a delegation from Hamas was scheduled to visit Egypt Saturday for further talks on a possible cease-fire and an exchange with Israel.
In Rafah, Civil Defense members evacuated injured victims from the building hit by the strike, and also carried away the bodies of those killed.
Meanwhile, at Al Aqsa hospital in Deir Al Balah, mourners prayed over the bodies of those killed in the strike on Nuseirat camp.
The cease-fire talks mark a new sign of progress in attempts by international mediators to hammer out an agreement between Israel and the militant group to end the war in Gaza.
Israel has regularly carried out airstrikes on Rafah since the start of the war seven months ago and has threatened to send in ground troops, saying Rafah is the last major Hamas stronghold in the coastal enclave.
Over a million Palestinians have sought refuge in the city on the Egyptian border.
The United States and others have urged Israel not to invade, fearing a humanitarian catastrophe.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged Tuesday to launch an incursion into Rafah.
The Israel-Hamas war broke on Oct. 7, when Hamas militants attacked southern Israel killing 1,200 people and took 250 as hostages.
Israel has since launched an aerial and ground attack on the Gaza Strip killing over 34,500 people and causing wide destruction.
