GAZA, Saturday, February 3, 2024 (WAFA) – A child was tragically killed and two other individuals injured this evening in an Israeli bombardment targeting the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, according to local sources.

Eyewitnesses reported that Israeli warplanes struck a residential apartment located in Hassan Salama Tower in the Jeneina neighborhood, east of Rafah. The airstrike led to the killing of a child and left two others injured.

In a preliminary toll, the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7 has resulted in the murder of over 27,238 individuals, the majority of whom are innocent civilians, and over 66,451 injuries.

Worse still, the aggression has resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly 2 million people from all of the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt—in what has become Palestine's largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
