GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) As the US-backed Israeli genocidal war on the Gaza Strip entered day 213 on Monday, aerial and artillery strikes continued to pound and target different areas, and massacre more civilians, mostly children and women.
A reporter for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said that the Israeli occupation army continued to launch attacks across Gaza, killing and injuring multiple citizens, especially in eastern Rafah where over 20 airstrikes were reported during the past hours.
According to media sources, journalist Mustafa Ayyad was martyred in an aerial attack on a street in Az-Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza City.
Israeli attacks on Rafah homes, which started on Sunday evening, claimed the lives of 22 civilians, including eight children, and injured many others. The death toll is likely to increase as a result of the relentless bombardment of homes.
During its ongoing deadly attacks, the Israeli army ordered tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians on Monday to start evacuating from the southern city of Rafah, signaling that a long-promised ground invasion there could be imminent and further complicating efforts to broker a ceasefire in Gaza.
