Scores of Palestinians were killed and wounded in Israeli strikes targeting residential buildings in Rafah, Deir Al-Balah.

The United States bombed several sites in Iraq and Syria but Tehran denied the presence of Iranian bases in the targeted areas.

Israeli forces stormed the city of Bethlehem and the adjacent Dheisheh refugee camp in the occupied West Bank and detained several Palestinians.

According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 27,131 Palestinians have been killed, and 66,287 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7. Palestinian and international estimates say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
