Israeli airstrikes on Rafah kill 20: media

TEHRAN, Dec. 12 (MNA) – At least 20 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes on the city of Rafah in southern Gaza, Arab news sources reported.

According to the Al Mayadeen TV channel, the majority of those killed are women and children.

Palestine’s Wafa news agency reported earlier that the strikes had killed at least 12 people, including six children.

Al Mayadeen said that Israel had also carried out airstrikes on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, killing at least 15 people.

More than 18,200 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed during the war that Israel launched on October 7 following an operation staged by Gaza's Resistance groups, dubbed Operation al-Aqsa Storm.

The US cast its veto against the resolution on Friday in line with its unbridled military and political support for Israel's brutal aggression, which has seen Washington providing the regime with more than 10,000 tons of military equipment since the beginning of its onslaught on Gaza.

The Israeli aggression has also been followed by a regional drive in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon to target US and Israeli interests in the region.
