Reports from local sources confirm that at least seven civilians, including children and women, lost their lives in a recent Israeli airstrike targeting a building in Rafah, located in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli warplanes targeted a residential building in Rafah's Al-Zuhur neighborhood, resulting in the death of seven civilians and causing injuries to several others, as stated by the sources.

Furthermore, additional civilians sustained injuries when another Israeli airstrike hit a house in the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood, west of Rafah. Additionally, nine more civilians were wounded in a separate Israeli attack on the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.

The escalating violence adds to the grim toll in Gaza, with medical sources reporting a total of 34,596 deaths, predominantly comprising children and women, since the onset of Israeli aggression last October.

Moreover, the number of injuries has surged to 77,816 since the commencement of the aggression, with many victims still trapped under the rubble, highlighting the dire humanitarian situation in the region. (ILKHA)
