Four Palestinians, including Colonel Bassam Ghaben, the director of Karm Abu Salem Crossing, were killed as a result of an Israeli airstrike in the vicinity of the Rafah border crossing in the southern Gaza Strip.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported that Israeli warplanes are carrying out airstrikes, simultaneous with artillery shelling on al-Shujaiya neighborhood east of Gaza City.

Our correspondent noted that all healthcare centers in the northern Gaza Strip are out of service due to the deliberate Israeli targeting.

He also highlighted that the Jabalia neighborhood has turned into "a disaster zone," and no organizations can provide assistance due to Israeli restrictions. He pointed out that the bodies of the martyrs are decomposing in the streets.

Earlier today, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported that Israeli occupation boats carried out aggressive bombings on Rafah Beach and Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

The correspondent stated, "We witnessed one of the most violent nights in Gaza, which included intense bombing in Rafah, Khan Younis, and the northern areas of the Strip."

He further noted that Israeli occupation warplanes conducted a series of raids on areas east of Khan Younis, specifically in Khuza’a and al-Zinni, as well as north of al-Qarara, Abasan, and Bani Suhaila, including the Ma’an region, resulting in numerous casualties.

The Israeli bombings also targeted other central areas of the Gaza Strip, with the explosions being described as very powerful, as reported by our correspondent.

The Israeli airstrikes were concentrated in northern Gaza City, specifically targeting neighborhoods such as al-Shujaiya, al-Zaytoun, Sheikh Radwan, and al-Rimal.

It is worth noting that the government media office in Gaza announced, on Wednesday, that the death toll from the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip had risen to 20,000 martyrs, including 8,000 children, 6,200 women, 310 medical personnel, and 97 journalists. 

The occupation has committed 1,700 massacres. More than 1.8 million people in Gaza have become displaced and live outside their homes, and nearly 2.4 million people are suffering under difficult and unprecedented humanitarian conditions of misery, and they suffer greatly in the provision of food, medicine, and potable water.
