Gaza strikes kill more than 60 in Gaza amid civilian zones
Gaza Strip airstrikes killed more than 60 Palestinians overnight and into Tuesday in southern and central Gaza including a strike on a crowded declared safe zone of displaced people along the Mediterranean coast. The strikes follow days of fighting as Israel scales back ground offensives and says it targets Hamas amid civilian tolls and mass displacement. In Nebraska, the Winnebago Tribe will regain about 1 600 acres of land along the Missouri River in Iowa after a new law requires return from the Army Corps of Engineers.
