On Thursday, 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 aircraft conducted a wide 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-Shuja'iya, al-Zaytoun, Sheikh Radwan, and al-Rimal.
