Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of intense airstrikes in the early hours of Wednesday morning on the city of Rafah, located in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, resulting in dozens of Palestinian casualties, including fatalities and wounded individuals.

Israeli airstrikes targeted a residential home in Khan Younis hosting displaced families, resulting in the martyrdom of 14 people.

Furthermore, our correspondent reported that the occupation forces also conducted airstrikes on Deir al-Balah and the missionary charity the Sisters of Mother Teresa of Calcutta in Gaza, killing 13 people and causing numerous injuries.

The Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza came under heavy Israeli artillery shelling, while Jabalia, Tel al-Zaatar, and Beit Lahia in the northern part of the Gaza Strip witnessed intense bombardment, according to our correspondent.

The headquarters of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine DFLP in the Jabalia camp was also targeted with several strikes.

Israelis committing field executions against civilians

Earlier reports from Al Mayadeen sources indicated that Israeli forces executed more than 15 Palestinians at the Annan family residence near Burj al-Jalaa in the northern part of Gaza City.

Israeli occupation forces left behind a number of martyrs and wounded several others, all in front of children and women in the residence.

In this context, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Observatory received shocking testimonies about field executions committed by the Israeli forces against civilians during house raids in the border areas of Gaza.

The organization indicated that the victims included members of the displaced families of Annan, al-Ashi, al-Shurafa, who were shot to death. There are also reports of other individuals who remain in critical condition and an elderly man who has been taken away by soldiers with an unknown fate.

It also noted that among the 27 women and children trapped in the house, some are suffering from serious injuries, including amputated limbs. They have issued pleas to the International Committee of the Red Cross for coordination to evacuate them from the location to save their lives.
