“Imminent ground offensive” –

At least 13 dead and several injured are the toll from the air raids that occurred during the night by Israeli fighters on some houses in Rafah, in the Gaza Strip. The doctors of the Palestinian Strip announced it, while the Palestinian media linked to Hamas spoke of 15 deaths. The Israeli raids hit targets of the Palestinian factions in view of the imminent ground offensive in the area. The IDF, Israel’s military, says it has killed more than 13,000 militants in Gaza, as well as around 1,000 terrorists in Israel since October 7.

The other front is the one on the border with Lebanon. The Israeli military said its forces shelled Lebanese Hezbollah targets last night, including operational infrastructure and military buildings in the Jabal Balat and Marwahin areas of southern Lebanon. The raid came after Israeli Channel 12 reported that a building was damaged when an anti-tank missile from Lebanon fell on the town of Shtula in the Upper Galilee. In response to this bombing, Israeli fighters launched a raid on an area between Ramieh and Al-Salhani, in southern Lebanon.
