Israeli forces targeted multiple locations across the Gaza Strip on Friday, including the southern city of Rafah, where air raids sparked fires and killed dozens in a displacement camp over the weekend. Witnesses reported strikes in Rafah, central Gaza’s Nuseirat, and intense bombardment in the north. Medical sources confirmed 11 overnight fatalities from strikes in Deir al-Balah and Nuseirat.
The Israeli military stated its troops continue operations in Rafah, uncovering rocket launchers, weapons, and tunnel shafts. Despite international objections, Israel launched its Rafah offensive in early May. The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant casualties and displacement, with the UN warning of a looming famine in Gaza. Amidst the violence, diplomatic efforts for a ceasefire remain stalled.
