The Israeli occupation persists in its aggression against the Gaza Strip for the 219th consecutive day, committing massacres against civilians. This coincides with an escalation of its operations in Rafah, located in the southern part of the Strip.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent confirmed that within the past 24 hours, 18 martyrs were killed and six others were wounded, and were transferred to the Kuwaiti Specialty Hospital in the Rafah Governorate.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) stated that approximately 300,000 people have been displaced from Rafah due to ongoing forced and inhumane displacement, emphasizing the lack of safe havens within the Strip.

In the central region, our correspondent reported that the occupation forces opened fire east of Deir al-Balah and al-Maghazi. They made limited advances and commenced bulldozing the "buffer zone". 

Our correspondent added that the occupation launched a series of raids on the areas of al-Mughraqa and Juhr al-Dik.

In conjunction with the Israeli invasion of Rafah, occupation vehicles are advancing eastward from the Jabalia camp towards al-Sikka Street, extending to Mazaya Street. Additionally, vehicles are stationed west of Mazaya Street in the Riad Al-Salheen area.

Our correspondent noted that the Israeli incursion into the northern regions was accompanied by intense artillery fire, along with support from helicopters and Quadcopter drones.

He further reported the arrival of 12 martyrs at Kamal Adwan Hospital, noting that there were reports of missing people in Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, where a violent Israeli air strike targeted the city.

He also highlighted that Israeli "Quad Copter" drones targeted shelter centers and residential buildings in the Jabalia camp. Additionally, the occupation intensified its aggressive artillery shelling in the area, while occupation aircraft conducted a raid on al-Sikka Street.

Furthermore, our correspondent reported that the Israeli aggression forced the displacement of Palestinians from the eastern regions of Jabalia and the camp's residents.

He added that occupation bullets are targeting individuals moving around the shelter schools in the northern Gaza Strip.

Furthermore, Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal announced that 16 individuals from the Dahdouh family, who were alive, sent a distress message from beneath the rubble in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza City. Basal explained that the team was unable to reach and evacuate them due to ongoing targeting by the occupation forces.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the occupation launched a violent raid on the neighborhood and targeted the al-Sabra neighborhood with artillery shelling.
