At least five Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes on Rafah

At least five Palestinians were killed and scores more injured in an Israeli bombing that targeted a house in the Tal Al-Sultan neighborhood, west of the city of Rafah, according to Al Jazeera Arabic.

The strikes came as Israel conducted a “carpet bombing” of sections of Rafah, according to Arabic media reports, with tanks and warplanes pummeling the southern Gaza border town where 1.5 million displaced Palestinians are sheltering.

Video footage on Social media platform X showed wounded Palestinians being rushed to Kuwait Specialized Hospital.
