"Israel" persisted in its relentless bombardment of the Gaza Strip, escalating its attacks, particularly in the southern areas, including Rafah.
Al Mayadeen's reporter in Gaza has stated that Israeli airstrikes have killed and injured numerous Palestinians in various locations across the Gaza Strip.
In central Gaza, 4 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on a house in the Nuseirat camp, and another 4 martyrs, including 3 children, were killed in the Israeli bombardment of the Talbani family's house in al-Maghazi Refugee Camp.
These two siblings were both massacred a while ago in Khan Younis by Israel .

Gaza healthcare system in crisis as Israeli attacks escalate
Regarding the humanitarian situation, Al Mayadeen's correspondent confirmed that the healthcare system is completely collapsing in the Strip, with expectations of water wells shutting down soon after being subjected to intense Israeli shelling.
Saline water is also rarely available, warned our correspondent.
Our correspondent further reported that only 20 wounded individuals will be allowed to exit through the Rafah crossing, while tens of thousands of injuries remain trapped in the Strip.
The Gaza government's media office announced on Tuesday that the toll of the Israeli aggression on Gaza has risen to over 43,616 injuries since October 7.
The Israeli aggression on Gaza has entered its 62nd day, with the death toll exceeding 16,000 martyrs. Since the end of the temporary truce, the occupation has committed more than 77 massacres, resulting in the martyrdom of more than 1,248 Palestinians.
It is worth noting that hundreds of martyrs are still under the rubble, and civil defense teams have not been able to retrieve their bodies.
