Israeli occupation forces continued to commit massacres against those waiting for aid and bombed various areas in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli Prime Minister's Office said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved plans to launch a military operation in Rafah.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant said that Israel will not be able to overthrow the movement “if it does not work to create an alternative to it” The Palestinian resistance is still engaged in fierce clashes with the Israeli occupation forces in central and northern Gaza and in the Khan Yunis Governorate in the south.
