On Friday, Israeli forces targeted across the Gaza Strip, with witnesses reporting air strikes near the southern city of Rafah, the most recent focus of the almost eight-month war.
Israel launched its military operation into Rafah in early May, despite international concerns about the safety of people sheltering in the city on Gaza’s border with Egypt.
A strike that started a fire and killed scores at a displacement camp over the weekend stirred new outrage.
According to the report, Israeli strikes hit the Rafah area as well as central Gaza’s Nuseirat.
“Strikes on the two distinct places killed 11 people overnight”, said medical officials at a hospital in Deir al-Balah and the Nuseirat refugee camp.
The Israeli military reported, “Troops continue… operational activities in the Rafah area, and found rocket launchers, weapons, and tunnel shafts in the city centre”.
“An air strike targeted and eliminated a combatant in that area”, the Israeli military continued.
“In central Gaza, further air strikes eliminated several terrorists who operated near troops”, the Israeli military added.
