The Israeli air force launched a series of raids northwest of the new camp, north of Nuseirat camp, coinciding with artillery shelling in the vicinity of the place.

Injuries were recorded among Palestinians, as a result of the Israeli’s artillery shelling on various areas of the neighborhoods of Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip, where the sounds of huge and continuous explosions were heard as smoke rose in the neighborhoods of Al-Zaytoun, Al-Shuja’iya, Al-Tuffah, Al-Daraj, Tal Al-Hawa, and Al-Rimal in Gaza City.

Several Palestinians were killed and others were injured, most of them seriously, as a result of Israeli army shelling of a house this evening in the Yabna refugee camp in the centre of Rafah, southern Gaza Strip.

Dr Suhaib al-Hams, the director of the Kuwaiti hospital, confirmed the arrival of the victims, telling Al Jazeera that the “Rafah governorate has become a continuous target of [the Israeli army].”

“The Israeli occupation uses internationally prohibited weapons, and the type of injuries we receive is unprecedented, such as amputation of limbs and laceration of the body,” al-Hams said.

Dr Jamal al-Hams, one of the medical staff at the Hospital, said that most of the injuries that reached the hospital are serious, and that one of the injured died as a result of his severe injury.

Witnesses told Anadolu Agency that the Israeli forces were heavily deployed inside the mosque to secure the settlers who entered the mosque in groups from the Al-Mugharbah Gate area, west of the holy mosque.
