Suddenly all the walls of the bathroom and all the containers above it collapsed on me.“ According to residents, two mosques and several houses were hit. Many of the dead or wounded were taken to the nearby Kuwaiti Hospital. “We have received more than 55 injured people in addition to 16 dead bodies, who have been received by the emergency ambulances and actually all of them have come in the same hour.“ While Israel has been signaling about its planned offensive in Rafah, where more than half of Gaza’s residents are sheltering, a number of countries including the U.S. have warned Israel about the offensive.

Two Israeli hostages, both men, were rescued from Rafah during a special operation overnight after 128 days captivity. The IDF said the hostages are in good medical condition and have been transferred to Sheba Medical Center in Israel. In the ongoing war, at least 28-thousand-1-hundred Palestinians have been killed according to Gaza’s health ministry while at least 1-thousand-1-hundred people died in Israel, including on October 7th.
