In a devastating airstrike carried out by Israeli warplanes last night, a three-story house in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, was targeted, resulting in the killing of dozens of civilians, including six children. Many are still trapped under the rubble, according to local sources.
The sources confirmed the murder of 14 civilians in the airstrike which targeted the Abu Anza family house in the Al-Salam neighborhood east of Rafah, with dozens more wounded and many still missing. The attack also caused extensive damage to the surrounding area.
Meantime, in Khan Yunis, also in the south of the enclave, the Israeli occupation military executed intense bombings from the air and artillery north of the city. This assault coincided with the advancement of Israeli military vehicles towards Hamad City neighborhood, located north of the province, targeting residential homes with shells and gunfire.
Further casualties were reported in the north and central Gaza Strip. An airstrike targeted a home in the center of Jabalia refugee camp, leading to several civilians killed and injured. Additionally, a group of civilians in the Al-Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip were targeted, resulting in multiple injuries.
Later in the early morning, another Israeli airstrike targeted a house in northern Gaza City, resulting in several casualties. Medical sources in Gaza reported at least four Palestinians were killed and several others injured following the targeting of the Kahlout family home on Al-Saftawi Street north of Gaza City.
Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 15 children have died in the past few days from malnutrition and dehydration at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza City hours after UNICEF chief warned of acute malnutrition territory.
The majority of those killed were women and children, reports Palestinian news agency Wafa, citing local sources, after Israeli forces bombed a house where displaced Palestinians were sheltering in Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza refugee camp.
The Israeli military, in the last hours, targeted a cemetery in the Jabalia refugee camp that was recently built by the residents of the repeatedly bombed area in northern Gaza.

The Israeli military has targeted people waiting for flour trucks near the Kuwaiti roundabout in Gaza City.
The Ministry of Health says dozens of people have been killed and injured.
It seems that the Israeli military is right now targeting people who are waiting desperately for food, for anything to survive.
No new humanitarian convoys can be allowed to get to the north without any prior coordination with the Israeli military.
And at the same time, Israel’s full control over the ground means that they control what goes in and what comes out now.
Ashraf al-Qudra, spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, says via a statement that Israeli forces “committed a horrific massacre” in southern Gaza City, near the Kuwaiti roundabout on Salah al-Din Street.
“Israeli occupation forces are carrying out systematic genocide crimes targeting hundreds of thousands of hungry stomachs in northern Gaza,” the statement reads.
