Israel arrests UNRWA workers during their exodus to the city of Rafah. The young men who were arrested do not belong to any Palestinian factions.

Israel has accused the agency’s employees of working for the benefit of the Hamas movement. Since the "Al-Aqsa Flood", Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza, which, as of Tuesday, resulted in the death of 26,900 Palestinians. The aggression also caused massive destruction of infrastructure, leaving an “unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe,” according to Palestinian and international reports.
