Six citizens died and several were injured amid air raids over a house in the southern city of Rafah, according to Wafa news agency.

An undetermined number of deaths were reported after several houses near the Al-Sahaba Medical Complex in the center of the coastal enclave were hit by bombs.

Local sources noted there is no possibility of recovering the bodies due to the presence of Israeli tanks in nearby areas.

The army also targeted a house in the Bureij refugee camp, as well as several sites in the Strip.

Three Palestinians were killed in a similar action in the south of the southern town of Khan Yunis, one of the main axes of the Israeli army’s ground offensive.

Planes and artillery also fired numerous munitions into areas of that city, resulting in numerous casualties and injuries, the news outlet noted.

According to the Health Ministry, as many as 16,456 Palestinians have died and 42,250 others have been injured in Gaza since the beginning of Israel´s attacks on October 7.
