At least 35 Palestinians killed throughout the Gaza Strip

According to Reuters news agency, Israeli forces killed at least 35 Palestinians in air and ground strikes across the besieged Gaza Strip on Thursday.

Israeli tanks advanced in southeast Rafah toward the western district of Yibna and continued operations in three eastern suburbs, residents told Reuters.

“The occupation (Israel) is trying to advance further west. They are on the outskirts of the densely populated Yibna. They have not penetrated yet,” one resident told Reuters, requesting anonymity.

“We hear explosions and see black smoke rising from areas occupied by the army. It was another very difficult night,” he told Reuters via a chat app.
