The occupation aircraft launched a raid targeting land southeast of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, coinciding with occupation artillery shelling of the eastern areas of the city.

Ambulance and rescue crews recovered the bodies of three children and their mother from the Al-Rai family, from under the rubble of their house, which was bombed by the occupation two days ago in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.
