Today's Highlighted Video Story:  At least 16 Palestinians have been killed in overnight strikes in Gaza city. It follows an attack on al-Mawasi in southern Gaza on Saturday that killed at least 90 Palestinians. People there have described it as a horrific massacre. Many are reported to be still missing under the rubble. Thousands of displaced people were seeking shelter in al-Mawasi, since Israeli forces had designated the area a so-called safe zone.
