Israel Kills 7 More Palestinians in Rafah City, Gaza

Israeli operations in Rafah City in the blockaded Gaza Strip on Saturday killed no fewer than 7 Palestinians according to Qatari Al Jazeera.

Close to 40,000 people including women, children and civilians have been killed by Israel, which claims to be retaliating the attack coordinated and carried out by the Islamic resistance group Hamas on 7 October.

Israeli forces, which seldom comment on their operations, bombed a house in the northeastern part of the Gaza Strip city, the Qatari media giant said quoting Palestinan Wafa news agency.

Israel said that it’s get to begin its assault on Rafah, the last major city, where more than half of 2 million people of Gaza are seeking refuge. The United States has persuaded Israel to restrain from launching onslaught on the city.
