This horrifying attack only added to the already dire situation in the region, as Israeli bombardment also targeted agricultural lands east of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.

Gaza’s Civil Defense teams worked tirelessly to recover the bodies of two martyrs in the Tal al-Sultan neighborhood, west of Rafah, following another devastating bombing by Israeli warplanes. Additionally, a house near the Emirati field hospital in central Rafah was also hit in the violent raid.

As Eid al-Adha, a time of celebration and sacrifice, arrived in Gaza, the people were left without the ability to partake in their annual traditions. The ongoing Israeli aggression over the past 254 days has destroyed homes, mosques, and markets, leaving the people with nothing to celebrate.

Shops remain closed, and the people are unable to purchase sacrificial animals, turning to charitable organizations for help.
Amidst the chaos, the families of martyrs, wounded, and captives are facing an especially difficult Eid. With over 10,000 wounded individuals awaiting treatment outside of Gaza, the reopening of the Rafah crossing is desperately needed.
