35 Palestinians killed by Israel in Rafah in 24 hours
GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – Israel killed at least 35 Palestinians and injured 129 others in airstrikes on Rafah in the past 24 hours, a medical source told Anadolu on Wednesday.
The medical source also said the Palestinian victims were those who arrived at the Kuwait Hospital in Rafah city, adding that children and women were among them.
Since Monday, Rafah has been experiencing intensified Israeli airstrikes and shelling in all its areas.
The Israeli army on Tuesday started its invasion into the eastern area of Rafah under which the Israeli army stormed and occupied the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing with Egypt, closing Gazan Palestinians’ only gateway with the world.
Israel has killed about nearly 34,800 Palestinians in Gaza, the vast majority of whom have been women and children, since October 7 last year when 1,139 Israelis died in a Hamas-led attack.
Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice. An interim ruling in January said it is “plausible” that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and ordered Tel Aviv to stop such acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza.
