Military spokesperson for al-Qassam Brigades Abu Obeida stated that the occupation’s recent bombing of the Gaza Strip led to the death of four captured Israeli settlers, adding that the bombardment also led to the martyrdom of the fighters who were holding them captive,

This comes as Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the day marked the heaviest bombing since the beginning of the aggression on the Gaza Strip, amid reports that the occupation is bombing Gaza hysterically.

Our correspondent also added that ten mosques, not to mention hospitals, schools, and ambulances, were bombed by the occupation after renewing its siege on Gaza and launching raids against the Strip. It is worth noting that the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that recent estimates indicate that the number of Israelis taken captive by the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza has exceeded 150.

In the latest numbers provided by the Palestinian Health Ministry, it is reported that 560 Palestinians were martyred, including 91 children and 61 women, in addition to 2,900 injured, including 244 children and 151 women due to the Israeli brutal aggression on Gaza.

'Israel' is intentionally wiping out entire Palestinian families

The Israeli occupation forces committed a massacre early Monday in Rafah, Gaza Strip, by bombarding residential buildings, murdering an entire family in the Strip's south in cold blood.

As a result of the occupation's extensive shelling, scores of Palestinians were martyred and wounded.

Reports suggest that there are at least 11 martyrs and five injuries, as a result of an air raid that targeted a residential building in Khan Yunis.

Airstrikes were renewed in the northeastern and northwestern areas of the Gaza Strip, and civil defense teams faced significant challenges in rescuing the injured from under the rubble of targeted houses and locations.

The Israeli occupation forces also conducted violent airstrikes on a home in Beit Lahia, as well as the Karama area and al-Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City.

Another series of air raids targeted a house in the Musabah area in Rafah, with another targeting the Sheikh Ahmad Yassin mosque in al-Shati' refugee camp west of Gaza, which caused material damage to neighboring homes.

Martyr Ibrahim Hamdan's family home in the Tel al-Zaatar district of the Jabaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip came under attack, causing damage to numerous adjacent houses and leaving the fate of its members unknown.
