Israeli occupation aircraft launched raids on Rafah, south of Gaza, this morning martyring eight Palestinians, at least three of whom are children, and injuring others.
As a result of the IOF bombing houses and residential apartments in Rafah, demolishing them with Palestinians still inside, five members of the Al-Sayyid family and three others of the Al-Nahhal family were martyred.
In the town al-Zawayda, IOF raided a kindergarten-turned-shelter, murdering at least four and injuring others, according to medical sources, with the injured being taken to Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah.
Due to the continuous Israeli bombing of Deir al-Balah, a Palestinian was also martyred and others were injured.
According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, as of yesterday, the number of martyrs has risen to 27,840, with more than 67,300 injured and thousands of victims still under the rubble and on the roads, as the occupation deliberately prevents ambulance and rescue crews from reaching them.

In addition,12 Palestinians were also martyred and others were injured as a result of further Israeli aircraft bombing of two houses near the Abu Al-Saeed Junction in Tal Al-Sultan and the Saudi neighborhood west of Rafah, south of Gaza.
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in the Gaza Strip reported in parallel that an Israeli artillery shelling targeted east of Rafah, south of the Strip.
A Palestinian journalist, Nafez Abdel Jawad, and his son were also martyred by an Israeli raid on Deir al-Balah.
