Gaza experienced violent Israeli strikes throughout Monday night, with the small city of Rafah witnessing the heaviest bombardment since the genocidal war on the Strip began last October.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Israeli forces concentrated their attacks on the western part of Rafah, unleashing relentless airstrikes and shelling that persisted for hours without pause, resulting in dozens of martyrs and wounded.

Forcibly displaced families were also entrapped due to the nonstop bombing preventing rescue teams and medics from reaching them.
