ALBAWABA - One soldier was dead, and several others were hospitalized due to a Hezbollah strike on Israeli cities, The Jerusalem Post reported.
The Lebanese group ramped up its retaliatory strikes on Israeli targets as Israel intensified its brutal bombardment of Rafah, Gaza killing hundreds of civilians.
"The IDF struck the sources of the fire. As a result of the launches, an IDF soldier was killed, and several other IDF soldiers were injured. The soldiers were evacuated for medical treatment at a hospital, their families have not yet been informed." a military report said.
Earlier today, an Israeli airstrike on Rafah wiped off 8 members of the Hasouna family; the two parents, two brothers, and one young woman and three children of one of those brothers.
The brutal Israeli shelling killed at least 74 Palestinians and destroyed significant areas of buildings and tents housing families who had evacuated to Rafah from all around Gaza.
The Palestinian Center for Human Rights, whose researchers collected the lists of those killed in Israeli strikes from Rafah hospitals, reported that 27 children and 22 women were killed.
The Israeli onslaught has claimed the lives of almost 12,300 Palestinian children and young teenagers, according to the Gaza Health Ministry on Monday.
Al-Aqsa Flood operation against Israel
Hamas military group announced on Oct. 7 a military operation called "Al-Aqsa Flood" against Israel which is the biggest offensive in decades.
Palestinian fighters “infiltrated” Israel from the Gaza Strip and captured military bases and took hostages as photos and videos went viral online showing Hamas fighters on vehicles inside Israel and others paragliding into occupation territory.
In response, Israeli armed forces announced targeting Hamas positions inside the Gaza Strip. Thousands were killed, and dozens of thousands of others were injured in the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
The latest statistics by the Ministry of Health in Gaza revealed that the death toll from Israeli brutal pounding on the Gaza Strip since October 7 has soared to 28,576 people, with more than 68,291 injuries.
Since then, approximately 85% of Gazans have been displaced, all of whom are suffering from severe food insecurity, and the healthcare system has collapsed. Hundreds of thousands of people lack shelter, and aid trucks are entering the area at a lower rate than before the conflict began.
