Israel has intensified its military operations in Gaza, targeting residential homes and committing what are described as massacres. The bombardment has been particularly severe in Rafah, where Israeli forces have been shelling Palestinian buildings by air, land, and sea for an hour and a half. According to Israeli journalists, the military is demolishing neighborhoods near the Philadelphia axis between Gaza and Egypt to create a buffer security zone. Footage from Israeli soldiers shows the systematic destruction of Palestinian neighborhoods, with calls for the complete erasure of these areas.
