At least 35 Palestinians were killed, and dozens others injured in Gaza’s southern city of Rafah, where Israeli forces started an operation earlier this month and has been making inroads since. Rafah houses hundreds of displaced Palestinians who fled the northern part of Gaza since Israel’s counterattack against Hamas’s October 7 assault began last year.
In a post on X, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that it struck a compound in Rafah that was housing “significant Hamas terrorists” and was carried out with “precise munitions and on the basis of precise intelligence”. It further claimed that the strikes killed Hamas’s chief of staff for the West Bank and another senior official of the Palestinian Islamist group.
The strikes happened after Hamas claimed to have launched a barrage of rockets at Israel’s Tel Aviv for the first time in months as rocket sirens blared across the central part of the Jewish nation, news agency Reuters reported.
