Warplanes target houses in Tel al-Sultan, Saudi neighborhoods in Rafah, school in Beit Hanoun
Three Palestinians were killed when the Israeli warplanes bombed the southern and northern Gaza Strip on Sunday.
The Civil Defense in Gaza said in a statement that its crew recovered the bodies of two Palestinians in the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood west of Rafah after an Israeli bombing of the area.
Additionally, the warplanes targeted a house near the Emirates field hospital in central Rafah, according to eyewitnesses.
The Israeli army also demolished residential buildings in the Saudi neighborhood in western Rafah, eyewitnesses told Anadolu.
In the northern Gaza Strip, one Palestinian was killed and another injured due to an Israeli drone strike on the Ghazi Shawa School, which shelters thousands of displaced people in Beit Hanoun, medical sources at Kamal Adwan Hospital.
Besides killing more than 37,300 Palestinians, Israel's eight-month military offensive and blockade in Gaza has plunged the territory into a humanitarian crisis, with international aid agencies reporting widespread hunger and hundreds of thousands of people on the brink of famine.
Israel is also accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, whose latest ruling ordered Tel Aviv to immediately halt its operation in Rafah, where more than 1 million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
