MONITORING (SW) – The death toll from Israeli airstrikes on Rafah in southern Gaza has risen to over 100, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said on Monday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The PRCS said people were still trapped under rubble and the death toll may increase.<\/p>\n

The city, where more than half of Gaza\u2019s population is seeking refuge, experienced “intense targeting” by warplanes and airstrikes, PRCS said.<\/p>\n

Hamas condemned what it called a “horrific massacre” by Israel against civilians in Rafah on Monday after the Israeli military confirmed it conducted airstrikes near the city.<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s planned ground offensive on Rafah will \u201cblow up\u201d the captive exchange negotiations, the Al-Aqsa television channel quoted a senior Hamas leader as saying on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Helicopters also fired machine guns along its border regions, according to the PRCS. Rafah lies near Gaza’s border with Egypt.<\/p>\n

The Israel Defense Forces confirmed Monday that they conducted “a series of strikes” on targets in the area of Shaboura, a district of Rafah, saying in a statement that “the strikes have concluded.”<\/p>\n

A mosque in Shaboura was among the targets of the Israeli strikes, according to the Rafah municipality.<\/p>\n

Hamas-run television channel Al-Aqsa reported two mosques were targeted as well as 14 homes in various areas of Rafah on Monday.<\/p>\n

The director of Abu Yousef Al-Najjar Hospital said medical facilities in Rafah “cannot handle the large number of injuries due to the Israeli occupation’s bombardment.”<\/p>\n

According to the PRCS, people are trapped under the rubble and there is still a heavy presence of warplanes in the skies over Rafah.<\/p>\n

Two Israeli hostages were rescued overnight from the southern Gaza city of Rafah in a special operation between the Israel Defense Forces, Israel Security Agency Shin Bet, and the Israeli police.<\/p>\n

The two hostages have been identified as Fernando Simon Marman, 60, and Louis Har, 70, who were taken by Hamas during the militant group’s October 7 attack on Israel, according to the joint statement on Monday.<\/p>\n

Their rescue comes 128 days after they were taken captive.<\/p>\n

The two men are in good medical condition and have been transferred to Sheba Medical Center in Israel, the IDF said.<\/p>\n

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said it was an “impressive release operation” by the IDF.<\/p>\n
