Since the morning hours, ambulance teams have been tirelessly working to recover the bodies of 67 martyrs from various locations in Khan Yunis, where they had fallen victim to previous Israeli attacks.

On the 185th day of the genocide, the Gaza Strip has witnessed a tragic surge in the count of martyrs as Israeli airstrikes persistently targeted civilian areas.

Local media reports say at least 6 people have been killed and numerous others injured in a series of Israeli attacks across the region.

One of the most harrowing incidents occurred at the entrance to Ain Jalut Towers in southern Nusseirat Camp, where Israeli shelling struck a store selling cleaning supplies, doubling as a refuge for displaced individuals. The assault resulted in the deaths of 6 individuals and left several others wounded.

Meanwhile, in southeast Deir al-Balah city, an Israeli airstrike targeted a center sheltering displaced families, claiming the lives of a woman and her son.

Several others sustained injuries following an Israeli attack on a residential house on Abu Arif Street in the same city.

The casualties continued to mount as reports emerged of two individuals martyred due to Israeli shelling near the Al-Mazra'a School in eastern Deir al-Balah, and a Palestinian youth killed in an attack on civilians east of the Bureij Camp.

Further north, in the town of Nasr, near Rafah, another tragic incident unfolded as Israeli shelling claimed the life of one individual and left several others wounded.

Earlier today, Gaza's Ministry of Health reported that the number of martyrs since October 7 has risen to 33,207 and those injured to 75,933. 

The ministry stressed that many victims remain under the rubble and on the streets as the IOF prevents ambulances and civil defense crews from reaching them. 

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated in a post on X earlier today that a date has been scheduled for the Rafah invasion, but he did not disclose which day exactly.

Shortly after, US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters in remarks regarding Netanyahu's announcement that the US still opposes "Israel's" plans to launch a ground invasion of Rafah.

"We have made clear to Israel that we think a full-scale military invasion of Rafah would have an enormously harmful effect on those civilians and that it would ultimately hurt Israel's security," Miller said.
