For the 20th day in a row, the occupation forces continued their siege of the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis. Israeli aircraft also targeted inhabited homes in Rafah amid anticipation of a military operation in the city, which houses more than a million displaced people.

The bombing of Rafah coincides with the Israeli occupation army approving amilitary operation there. The ongoing aggression against the besieged Gaza Strip has resulted in the death of 27,947 Palestinians and the injury of 67,459 since October 7.
