Israeli air attack on residential home in Rafah kills four Palestinians
Al JazeeraIsraeli warplanes have bombed a house belonging to the Shehadeh family in the Brazil neighbourhood in the Rafah governorate, south of the Gaza Strip. In two separate attacks on the Abu Dabaa and Ashour family homes in Rafah, the number of people killed from the aerial bombardment increased to 25. “Cutting off communications and the internet means that Palestinians will face life-threatening disasters, as there will be many killed and wounded people that no one will be able to reach,” the media office said. “Thus, the number of victims killed will increase.” More than 280 Palestinians and about 800 others were injured on Thursday, as air raids and artillery shelling continued throughout the Gaza Strip, especially in the southern city of Khan Younis, northern Gaza, and the neighbourhoods east of Gaza City. More than 253,000 housing units have been partially damaged by the ongoing bombing, and more than 52,000 housing units were completely demolished by the Israeli air attacks or have become uninhabitable.
