Also, locals and rescue teams found the corpses of three Palestinians under the rubble of bombarded homes in the Tal Al-Sultan neighborhood, west of Rafah.
The three were among the dozens who were killed and injured when the army fired missiles and shells at several parts of Rafah throughout the day, including Tal Al-Sultan and the Al-Barazil neighborhood.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said the army committed three massacres of families, killing at least 40 Palestinians and wounding about 120, mostly children and women.
Israel has now killed at least 37.164 Palestinians, and injured more than 84.832, mostly women, children, and elderly, in several parts of the Gaza Strip, since October 7, 2023.
Thousands remain missing, largely under the rubble of bombarded homes and buildings, in alleys, and on streets while rescue and rescue teams have been unable to reach them due to ongoing bombing, massive destruction, and the lack of equipment and fuel.
