Israel has conducted airstrikes on Rafah, located in the southern Gaza Strip, leading to significant destruction and loss of life. Palestinian sources report hundreds of fatalities and injuries. The operation resulted in the release of two hostages, although Israel has not disclosed further details about the special operation.

Al Jazeera reports that the strikes damaged two mosques in the northern and central parts of Rafah. Preliminary figures suggest the Israeli offensive resulted in at least 67 deaths and over 230 injuries. Countries such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United States, and the European Union have voiced their opposition to Israel's plans for a ground operation in the Rafah area.

This incident reaffirms the Netanyahu regime's aggressive tendencies and its willingness to resort to violence. It's important to remember that the Rafah region in the Gaza Strip had previously been declared a "safe zone" for refugees by the Israeli army. However, the actions taken by the Israeli government have transformed it into a battleground, clearly indicating a genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people and allowing no alternative interpretations of the situation.
