At Least 10 Killed In Air Attacks On Rafah

At least 10 people, many women and children, have been killed in Israeli air attacks on residential homes in Gaza’s Rafah city. Israeli forces continue to raid Nur Shams refugee camp in the occupied West Bank’s Tulkarem for a second day, killing at least five people, including a teenager, and causing “worst destruction in decades”, according to an Al Jazeera correspondent.

Iran’s foreign minister says his country will respond to the “maximum” if Israeli “adventurism” continues following reports of the shooting down by Iranian air defence batteries of three drones over Isfahan.

Israeli forces have deployed more troops to areas adjacent to Rafah and destroyed agricultural land in the eastern areas of the district.

At least 34,012 people have been killed and 76,833 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll in Israel from Hamas’s October 7 attacks stands at 1,139, with dozens of captives held in Gaza.

Within the past two hours, there has been an attack on a residential block in the al-Mawasi evacuation zone in Khan Younis. This is where the vast majority of displaced families were ordered by the Israeli military in the initial weeks of the war to go and shelter to avoid being bombed.

There are reports of multiple injuries right now. There is difficulty in reaching those injured due to the presence of quadcopters – attack drones. This makes it very risky for civil defence crew to do their jobs and help save people._Al Jazeera
