214 days of war…tanks storm the Rafah crossing

Gaza - Together - Israeli aircraft continued their bombing of various areas of the Gaza Strip on the 214th day of the war, leaving dozens of martyrs and wounded. The Israeli occupation committed five massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, claiming 52 martyrs and 90 injuries during the past 24 hours, bringing the toll of the Israeli aggression to 34,735 martyrs and 78,108 injuries. In the south of the Gaza Strip, the occupation forces began a ground invasion of the east of the city of Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip, coinciding with dozens of air strikes. Israeli tanks stormed the Rafah crossing on the Egyptian-Palestinian border for the first time since the occupation army's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in 2005. The tanks fired several shells before storming the crossing, which is the only crossing that was far from Israel's control. The planes bombed dozens of homes east of the city of Rafah and seven homes in the center and west, killing at least 15 citizens and wounding dozens. A raid on a home for the Al-Darbi family in the Tal Al-Sultan neighborhood led to four martyrs and the injury of 18 citizens, while four citizens, a father, his two children, and his wife from the Al-Hams family, were martyred in a bombing in central Rafah. Three citizens were martyred in the bombing of the home of the Abdel-Al family in the Al-Brahma area, west of Rafah, in the city of Rafah, while the raids targeted the home of the Shamali family in the Brazil neighborhood and the Baroud family in the Al-Tanour neighborhood, east of Rafah.
