We are seeing more intensity in the scale and magnitude of the Israeli air strikes that keep pounding the entire Gaza Strip from north to south, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Rafah, southern Gaza.

Here in Rafah, within the past 24 hours, there have been more than five air strikes, destroying residential homes and killing many civilians, including women and children.

In the central area of the Gaza Strip, Deir el-Balah and refugee camps became a major target of the Israeli bombardment. Residential homes were destroyed completely and turned into ruins, causing the displacement of a large number of people.

In the northern part of Gaza City, the same scenario keeps repeating itself over and over again. People stranded in that war-zone area are subjugated to massive and relentless artillery shelling and more of those air strikes that have made their lives unbearable since the beginning of the war, but have grown more intense within the past few days.

And just in the last few minutes, we received a report from the vicinity of Nasser hospital in Khan Younis where a group of evacuees leaving the hospital were targeted by artillery shelling.
