Just before midnight, Wednesday, an Israeli missile struck a home in Rafah, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, killing nineteen Palestinians, including children.
Media sources said the army fired a missile at the home of the Zamily family, east of Rafah, killing nineteen Palestinians, including children, in the property.
They added that Palestinian medics and rescue teams rushed to the property and started evacuating the dead and the wounded, in addition to searching for potential casualties under the rubble.
In related news, several Palestinians were killed, and many were injured when the army fired artillery shells and missiles into areas in the northern, central, and southern parts of the coastal region.

The Israeli army fired barrages of missiles and shells into Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, forcing thousands of Palestinians to flee, looking for a safer place amidst the ruins and the constant onslaught.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said Israel has bow killed at least 24.450 Palestinians and injured more than 61.500 in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, and added that the majority of the victims of the ongoing ethnic cleansing are children and women.
There are also several thousand Palestinians who remain missing, largely buried under the rubble of bombarded homes and buildings in several parts of the Gaza Strip.
