The northern part of Rafah was subjugated to heavy, relentless bombardment where more residential homes have been targeted and destroyed. At least six people in these two residential homes were killed, Al Jazeera reports.

Both eastern and central Khan Younis are becoming the site of major bombardment of artillery shelling. There was constant bombardment last night of all the refugee camps in central Gaza Strip — Al-Bureij, al-Maghazi as well as Nuseirat.

The northern part of Gaza — Jabalia town and Jabalia refugee camp, along with the northern district of Gaza City — were targeted and destroyed.

Ministry of Health Director-General Munir al-Barsh was sheltering in his sister’s house, which was targeted. He was critically injured, and family members were also injured, but his daughter was killed in the attack on the residential homes, AJ reports.
