ISRAELI air attacks in the Gaza Strip killed at least 46 people, mainly women and children, today.

The day before, the Israeli military was forced to backtrack on its account of the slaughter of 15 Palestinian medics by its troops last month after a phone video contradicted its version of events.

The footage was found on the dead body of one of the medics who was killed.
