Israel Intensifies Attacks on Rafah, 22 Killed Including 8 Children

Date:

Israeli forces have hit 11 homes resulting in dozens of people killed, wounded, and missing under the rubble

Israel intensifies attacks on Rafah, killing at least 22 Palestinians including eight children. The bombings come after Hamas fired rockets at the Karem Abu Salem crossing, killing three Israeli soldiers.

Gaza’s civil defense office said its crews in Rafah are dealing with “several attacks” on inhabited and uninhabited homes in the southern city.

It said Israeli forces have hit 11 homes in the southern area between Sunday evening and the early hours of Monday.

The attacks have resulted in dozens of people killed, wounded, and missing under the rubble.

The Wafa news agency reported that the death toll from Israeli attacks on Rafah has risen to 22.

The victims include eight children, it said.

Two of them were killed in the attack on the Abu Lebda home, and four were killed in a raid on the Qishta family.

Israel waged a genocidal war on the besieged Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas Resistance group carried out a historic operation against the occupying entity in retaliation for the regime’s intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

Israel has imposed a complete siege on the territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.

The death toll in the Gaza Strip since the start of the Israeli onslaught in October of last year has grown to almost 34,700, the Palestinian enclave’s Health Ministry said on Sunday.
