Several Martyred in New Israeli Massacres in Rafah, Jabalia
The Israeli occupation forces bombard civilian homes in Gaza's Jabalia and Rafah.
Israeli airstrikes on Rafah claimed the lives of nine civilians, the majority of whom were children, after bombarding the Hashash family home northwest of the southern city of Rafah.
The Israeli occupation forces also launched destructive air raids on the new refugee camp in al-Nuseirat, central Gaza.
Israeli quadcopters opened fire on ambulances near the UNRWA clinic in the Jabalia refugee camp north of Gaza.
Several civilians were martyred in airstrikes that targeted numerous areas east of the Jabalia refugee camp.
“Our emergency crews are receiving many calls for help in Rafah, al-Zaytounm, al-Sabra, and Jabalia,” the spokesperson for the civil defense directorate in Gaza, Mahmoud Basal, said, confirming that all of those areas had been bombarded overnight.
He underlined that it was gravely difficult and dangerous for the civil defense crews to aid civilians because they themselves had no immunity and were targeted by the Israeli occupation forces themselves.
