TEHRAN, Feb. 12 (MNA) – The death toll from the massive Israeli strike on the city of Rafah, located in the southern Gaza Strip near the border with Egypt, has risen to 100.

More than 230 people were injured. Most of the victims of the attack were women and children.

It was reported earlier that Israeli planes were carrying out targeted strikes on the Al-Huda and Al-Rahma mosques, where many refugees are located, according to TASS.

The Palestinian Red Crescent reported the bombing of residential buildings in the surrounding area and the organization's headquarters.

Israel waged its brutal war on besieged Gaza on October 7 after Hamas carried out an unprecedented operation against the occupying entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

So far, the Tel Aviv regime has killed at least 27,585 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 67,000 others.

Israel has imposed a complete siege on the densely populated territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
