The Israeli occupation army announced that 16 soldiers were injured during the past 24 hours, while it burned the departures hall at the Rafah crossing and continued its bombing of various areas of the Gaza Strip, on the second day of Eid al-Adha.
In a statement by the occupation army, the number of injured officers and soldiers has reached 3,848 since the outbreak of the war, of whom 1,942 were injured during the ground operation.
According to the statement, 662 officers and soldiers were killed, and 582 were seriously injured since the outbreak of war on October 7th.
The army said that 241 soldiers are still receiving treatment after being injured in the Gaza battles, 28 of whom are seriously injured, according to the statement.
He penetrated into Rafah
In the field context, Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent said that the occupation forces entered the city of Rafah amid artillery shelling on areas north of the city.
The correspondent reported that a number of Palestinians were martyred and injured in an Israeli bombing targeting the Khirbet Al-Adas area, north of Rafah, and a number of Palestinians were also injured in shelling and gunfire from Israeli marches in the Saudi neighborhood, west of the city.
The correspondent confirmed that two people were killed and 13 others were injured in Israeli raids that targeted a house in the Zarqa neighborhood, north of Gaza City. He also stated that the occupation forces launched artillery shelling of the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza City and the Al-Mughraqa area in the central Strip.
In the Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip, an Tel Aviv Tribune correspondent reported that 9 Palestinians, including 6 children, were martyred in an Israeli bombing that targeted a house in the Bureij camp, in the central Gaza Strip, and the bombing led to damage to residential complexes close to the place that was bombed.
The departure hall was burned
On the other hand, the Israeli army burned the departures hall and a number of facilities on the Palestinian side of the Rafah land crossing in the southern Gaza Strip, about 40 days after taking control of it on May 7th.
A photo circulated by Palestinian accounts on social media showed the departure hall at the crossing completely burned.
On the first day of Eid al-Adha, Sunday, the Israeli army bombed various areas in the Gaza Strip with artillery and warplanes. Which led to the death and injury of Palestinians, including children and women.
Since October 7, Israel has been waging a war on Gaza that has left more than 122,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing amid deadly famine and massive destruction.
Tel Aviv continues its war, ignoring the UN Security Council resolutions to stop it immediately, and the orders of the International Court of Justice to end the invasion of Rafah (south), and to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and improve the dire humanitarian situation in the Strip.
For the 18th year, Israel has besieged the Gaza Strip, and its war forced about two million of its residents, numbering about 2.3 million Palestinians, to flee in catastrophic conditions, with severe scarcity of food, water, and medicine.
