Overnight, the Israeli military carried out wide-ranging attacks across Gaza but one of the bloodiest was on southern Rafah where at least 11 Palestinians were killed, including five children, Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum reports.

We have also recorded more air strikes in the al-Mughraqa and Deir el-Balah areas. These two towns have witnessed mass demolitions by the Israeli military with many neighbourhoods completely destroyed,“ the report said.

It added that the Israeli army, meanwhile, withdrew from the Nuseirat refugee camp, leaving behind a trail of destruction. “Civil defence crews are working to recover victims buried in the debris,” Al Jazeera reported.
