The Israeli occupation forces committed 3 massacres in Gaza during the past 24 hours, and the occupation forces continued to target civilians in various locations in the Strip, while the Al-Quds Brigades – the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement – set up an Israeli force penetrating a neighborhood in Rafah in an elaborate ambush and blew up a military vehicle and killed its members. .
The Ministry of Health in Gaza said that the occupation massacres in the past hours resulted in 41 martyrs and 102 injuries, and noted that “a number of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them.”

On the first day of Eid al-Adha, Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent confirmed the death of 7 Palestinians and the injury of others in an Israeli bombing that targeted a house in the Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip.
