Two children killed in Israeli strike on Rafah
At least two children have been killed in an air attack on Gaza’s southern city of Rafah, where more than 1.5 million displaced Palestinians are sheltering.
The attack hit a home in the Shaboura neighbourhood and killed two siblings identified as Kareem Amer Jaradeh and his sister Mona, the Wafa news agency reported. It said several others were wounded in the attack. Those injured as well as the bodies of the two siblings have been taken to the Kuwaiti Hospital in the densely populated city, it added.
Netanyahu said today that a full-scale invasion of Rafah would happen soon, though the Israeli army has ramped up bombing of the city in recent weeks, leading to dozens of casualties.
