Israeli media outlets reported on Sunday that two soldiers were injured in Rafah in clashes with the Palestinian resistance, south of Gaza.
The report came few hours after a tunnel shaft explosion in the same city killed two soldiers and wounded two others.
Hamas military wing, Al-Qassam Brigades, issued a statement to claim responsibility for the ambush in Rafah, adding that two Israeli military vehicles were also destroyed.
Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Islamic Jihad Movement, released a video which shows targeting Israeli enemy vehicles by recycled IEDs and bombs left by the occupation forces in Al-Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza.
At least 22 Palestinians, including seven women and a child, were killed on Sunday as Israeli airstrikes targeted multiple locations across the besieged and starved Gaza Strip, according to medical sources.
At least 40 Palestinians were killed and 125 others were injured in the Gaza Strip over the last 24 hours as a result of the ongoing Israeli genocide in the region, according to medical sources.
Local health authorities confirmed that the Palestinian death toll from the Israeli onslaught since October 2023 has risen to 52,535 fatalities, with an additional 118,491 individuals sustaining injuries. The majority of the victims are women and children.
According to the same sources, the death toll since Israel’s resumption of the genocide on March 18 after a two-month truce has also climbed to 2,436, in addition to 6,450 others injured.
In the central Gaza Strip, two people — including one woman — were killed and others injured after an Israeli strike hit the Abu Hweishel family home in the Nuseirat refugee camp.
In a separate attack, 10 civilians — including six women and a child — were killed when a drone strike hit a tent sheltering displaced families in the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza.
Two more people succumbed to wounds sustained in previous Israeli attacks on Khan Younis, south of the Strip, and Beit Hanoun, north of the region.
The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 52,495 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 118,366 others injured.
Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks.
Israeli genocidal attacks continue unabated despite calls from the UN Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice urging measures to prevent genocide and alleviate the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
