GAZA: A number of civilians were brutally murdered last night in a series of Israeli airstrikes which targeted multiple locations in the cities of Khan Yunis and Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip, according to local sources.
In Khan Yunis, at least four civilians, including children, were reported murdered, and several others were injured when Israeli occupation forces targeted the Abu Nasr family home with an airstrike. The casualties were swiftly transported to Nasser Hospital in the city for medical attention.
Additionally, artillery bombardment by the Israeli occupation forces hit several neighborhoods in the city, resulting in dozens of casualties.
The toll increased further as Israeli warplanes bombed a residential area near Kuwaiti Hospital in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip. Scores of casualties were rushed to the Abu Yousef al-Najjar Hospital in the city.
Israeli airstrikes were not confined to Khan Yunis and Rafah; residential areas and homes in Deir al-Balah, Gaza City, and Nusseirat faced Is
raeli bombardments, causing additional injuries among the civilian population.
The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza has now claimed an alarming toll, with a non-final count of 18,787 victims and approximately 50,900 wounded.
