Maryam and Abdullah were martyred in the bombing of a family rest house in the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip. The rescue teams found only 7 people, including one dead and one wounded, while the fate of the rest of the displaced remained unknown due to the intensity of the bombing.

Despite mounting regional and international warnings of possible catastrophic repercussions, the Israeli occupation army is preparing to invade Rafah. There are at least 1.4 million Palestinians, including 1.3 million displaced persons whom Israel pushed to its south.
