Russia's President Putin says the country cannot compromise its sovereignty amid Western attempts to sow discord. That's the message during a rally of the country's ruling party. Three Israeli strikes reportedly hit the southern Gaza city of Rafah in the early hours Sunday, killing two and wounding several others. French lawmakers condemn Israel over the killing of a French government worker, who was in a private residence during an IDF attack on Gaza. The Israeli military admits it mistakenly killed three captives in Gaza who were waving white flags. The defense minister says that, he's willing to accept it to achieve the goal of eliminating Hamas. The killing of the hostages has sparked public outrage.
