Palestinian hospital officials say Israeli airstrikes on the southern city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip have killed at least five people. Among those killed in the strikes overnight and into Thursday were two children, identified in hospital records as Sham Najjar, 6, and Jamal Nabahan, 8. More than half of the territory’s population of 2.3 million have sought refuge in Rafah, where Israel has conducted near-daily raids as it prepares for an offensive in the city. Meanwhile, a top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.

The Connecticut Senate has passed one of the first major legislative proposals in the U.S. to reign in bias in artificial intelligence decision-making and protect people from harm. But despite Wednesday's 24-12 vote, it's unclear whether the legislation will ultimately become law. There remains concern among Republicans and some top Democrats, including Gov Ned Lamont, the bill might stifle innovation, become a burden for small businesses and make the state an outlier. The bill, which aims to protect people from AI bias in decision-making and deep-fake pornography, stems from the work of two Connecticut task forces and a bipartisan group of lawmakers from other states.
