Hundreds of citizens were killed and injured, at dawn on Monday, including a large number of children and women, in intense Israeli bombardment and fire belts targeting various areas of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, on the 129th day of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.

Health sources in Rafah reported that more than 100 citizens, including children and women, were killed and hundreds of others were injured. They arrived at Rafah hospitals following heavy Israeli raids on the city in the southern Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian Red Crescent said that the city of Rafah is witnessing violent Israeli raids concentrated in the center of the city, targeting inhabited homes opposite the headquarters of the Crescent Society.

Director of Kuwait Hospital, Suhaib Al-Hams, said: The hospital is full of wounded people in a very dangerous situation, and there is not enough medicine and serums.

Local sources added that warplanes launched a series of violent raids estimated at about 40 raids, targeting in particular many homes and mosques housing displaced people, in conjunction with intense artillery bombardment by warships on the city of Rafah.

The sources indicated that civilian vehicles carrying killed and wounded arrived at the Kuwaiti Hospital in Rafah, amid hundreds of people fleeing to the hospital to escape the bombing of the city.

Among the targeted mosques were the Al-Rahma mosques in Al-Shaboura and Al-Huda mosques in the Yabna camp, which shelter dozens of displaced people in Rafah, in addition to more than 14 inhabited homes.

Israeli bombing and raids also targeted areas close to the border with Egypt.
