IP- At least 11 people including five children have been killed in the latest Israeli strikes on southern Rafah where 1.5 million internally displaced Palestinians expect an imminent ground invasion.

Iran Press/ West Asia: In the 7th month of Israeli attacks on the besieged enclave, at least 33,899 Palestinians have been killed and 76,664 wounded.

Last night, the Israeli military carried out wide-ranging attacks across Gaza but one of the bloodiest was on southern Rafah where at least 11 Palestinians were killed, including five children.

The al-Mughraqa and Deir el-Balah towns which are the scene of mass demolitions by the Israeli military with many neighborhoods destroyed, were bombarded last night.

Local news reports say the Israeli military has deployed more tanks and armored vehicles near border areas with Rafah, in preparation for a potential ground invasion of the densely populated area with about 1.5 million people sheltering there.

Meanwhile, in Beirut, Lebanon Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi accused Mossad of the assassination of a Lebanese merchant Mohammad Srour.

Mohammad Srour, 57, who was sanctioned by the US, was found dead with thousands of dollars in cash scattered around him, in a resort town near Beirut. Pistols with silencers and gloves in a bucket were found at the scene, with chemicals used to remove fingerprints.

Mawlawi said Lebanon’s investigation is continuing.

The suspicion that Israeli agents killed Srour comes during intensifying clashes between Hezbollah and Israeli forces.
