Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that the Israeli occupation army launched raids described as unprecedented on several areas in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, while the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), announced the targeting of 13 Israeli military vehicles.
Our correspondent stated that the Israeli occupation forces bombed the vicinity of the Kuwait Specialized Hospital in the center of the city of Rafah, and that a number of casualties arrived at the hospital.
The correspondent added that thick columns of smoke rose following an Israeli artillery shelling that targeted areas east of the city of Rafah.
In turn, Palestinian media said that occupation artillery was bombing the eastern border areas between the cities of Deir al-Balah (central) and Khan Yunis (south) of the Gaza Strip.
In the central Gaza Strip, an Tel Aviv Tribune correspondent said that an Israeli bombing targeted a residential apartment for the Joudeh family in Al-Nuri Tower in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip, leaving 4 martyrs and a number of injured.
In Gaza City, 8 Palestinians were martyred and others were injured, including women and children, in an Israeli bombing that targeted a home for the Club family. The Daraj neighborhood, inhabited by displaced people, was subjected to several Israeli raids.
As for the northern Gaza Strip, Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that the Israeli occupation forces are trying to impose a siege on most of the streets of Jabalia Camp, stressing that the camp is subjected to violent and continuous raids, which has pushed a number of residents to flee.
Meanwhile, the reporter reported that the Israeli occupation forces were advancing towards Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip and surrounded a number of its medical staff and the wounded.
In its daily statistics, the Ministry of Health in Gaza said that the Israeli occupation forces committed 6 massacres against families in the Strip, as a result of which 57 martyrs and 93 wounded arrived in hospitals within 24 hours.
Thus, the toll of the Israeli aggression rises to 35,857 martyrs and 80,293 injured since the seventh of last October.
Al-Qassam attacks
On the ground, the Al-Qassam Brigades announced the targeting of 13 Israeli military vehicles and the sniping of 3 soldiers. Al-Qassam stated that its fighters lured a special Israeli force to a tunnel tunnel north of the Jabalia camp and clashed with its members from point zero and detonated an anti-personnel device with them, leaving them dead and wounded.
Also in northern Jabalia, Al-Qassam announced that its fighters had sniped an Israeli soldier inside a house, in addition to targeting 8 Israeli tanks, some of them Merkava 4, and blowing up one of them with strobe charges and “Al-Yassin 105” shells, in both Jabalia in the north and Rafah in the south of the Strip.
Al-Qassam also targeted two Israeli D-9 military bulldozers with Tandom and Al-Yassin 105 shells in the vicinity of Salah al-Din Gate and the Al-Shoka neighborhood in Rafah.
In the Netzarim axis, south of Gaza City, Al-Qassam announced the bombing of a gathering of occupation forces with heavy-caliber mortar shells.
In turn, the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, announced the seizure of two reconnaissance aircraft belonging to the Israeli Army infantry forces while they were carrying out intelligence missions inside the Khan Yunis Brigade.
Jabalia operation
On the other hand, the Israeli army announced that the 98th Division was continuing its operations in Jabalia, north of the Gaza Strip, and that it had targeted infrastructure it described as “terrorist,” eliminating dozens of fighters and finding quantities of weapons, as it put it.
The Israeli army also indicated that its military operations in the Rafah area included raiding Hamas weapons sites and infrastructure and destroying tunnel openings.
In the central Gaza Strip, the occupation army confirmed that its members eliminated a group it described as “terrorist” after it targeted Israeli forces, adding that it destroyed the missile platform from which two missiles were launched towards the city of Ofakim in the Negev earlier.
In a new statistic of the losses of its war on the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army announced that 9 soldiers were wounded in the battles of the Gaza Strip in the past hours.
The army said that since the beginning of the war, 3,581 officers and soldiers have been injured, including 1,781 during the ground attack.
He added that since the beginning of the war, 634 officers and soldiers were killed, and 555 others were seriously injured.
The Israeli war on Gaza, which began on October 7, 2023, left more than 116,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and about 10,000 missing amid massive destruction and famine that claimed the lives of children and the elderly.
Israel continues this war, ignoring a Security Council resolution demanding that it stop the fighting immediately, and orders from the Court of Justice demanding that it stop its attack on Rafah, and take immediate measures to prevent acts of “genocide” and “improve the humanitarian situation” in Gaza.
