Israel operates throughout the city of Rafah and leaves more than 25 dead in attack on displaced people

The Israeli Army intensified its attacks and incursion in the heart of the city of Rafah, southern Gaza, as well as on its western side; causing, according to medical sources, at least 25 deaths in an attack on displaced people’s tents – which is not attributed – and great destruction in residential neighborhoods.

As Palestinian sources confirmed to EFE, the attacks are now concentrated in Al Auda, in the center of the city of Rafah, and in Tal al Sultan, a neighborhood in the northwest. The southern and east areas are already under their control weeks after the Israeli tanks began their incursion into the city, on May 6.

“The whole city of Rafah is an area of Israeli military operations,” Ahmed al Sofi, mayor of Rafah, said today in a statement released by the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas on Telegram. “The city is experiencing a humanitarian catastrophe and people are dying inside its tents due to the Israeli bombings.”

Sofi added that there is no medical center left in operation in the city and that residents and displaced people – according to UNRWA about 65,000 people, although before the military incursion there were 1.4 million Gaza refugees in Rafah – cannot meet their daily needs for food and water.

The third point of intense military activity, according to local sources to EFE, is still the so-called Philadelphia corridor, the 14-kilometer border line with Egypt that Israel aspires to control, according to military sources, in order to cut the network of tunnels that supplies Hamas and helps it both to rearm itself and to attack.

In this area, the destruction of infrastructure is being absolute, and a kind of buffer strip has been created, as in the Saudi Quarter of Rafah (west), where units of Army engineers are flying residential buildings.

Since this morning, at least 25 Gaza people died and 50 were injured after an Israeli bombing of displaced people’s stores in Al Mawasi, northwest of Rafah, according to the Ministry of Health, an event that the Israeli Army, after a preliminary investigation, claims to be unaware of but claims to be investigating.

In the northern city of Gaza, at least 17 Gazans died: ten after Israeli fighters bombed a home in Beach Camp, five municipal officials in an attack in the center of the city and two others in attacks in the Zeitun neighborhood, the Palestinian agency Wafa reported.

In addition, two more Gazazians lost their lives today north of the city of Rafah, in the neighborhood of Khirbet al Adas, according to Palestinian sources, which would increase the total number of deaths to 37,470 in eight and a half months of Israeli offensive.

In the north, the lack of food and food is still a critical issue. According to UN data from July 1 to 18, of the 61 coordinated humanitarian assistance missions in northern Gaza, only 28 – 46% – were facilitated by the Israeli authorities, details the UN Agency for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

“The absence of healthy food and drinking water accelerates the spread of diseases,” Hosam Abu Sfiya, the director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital, in the northern Strip, warned today in a statement. “We have not received any essential supplies in the northern Gaza Strip, especially food for children.”

The reality in the enclave is that only a tiny minority can eat regularly, in the absence of food or unaffordable prices. Many do it once a day and there is a lack of milk and porridge, denounce organizations on the ground. In addition, the shortage of fuel forces you to burn plastic or firewood to cook.

Some diseases are re-emerging, such as hepatitis and gastroenteritis.

“All we can offer are some medical solutions for malnourished children,” Hosam Abu Sfiya continued. “We demand the entry of fuel, food and medical supplies.”

For its part, the NGO Doctors Without Borders (MSF) warned today of the psychological trauma that the war is causing to the children of Gaza, with some not wanting to continue living surrounded by so much death.

Seven bodies found with signs of torture in Sinaloa

Mexican authorities discovered seven lifeless bodies on Wednesday, showing clear signs of torture, in the rural area of Culiacán, Sinaloa, just one day after the same number of bodies was found in several municipalities in the western state of Mexico.

Six of these seven victims were found along the side of the highway that connects Culiacán to Mazatlán, near Laguna de Canachi, according to local media reports, which also noted that messages addressed to a criminal group were found near the bodies.

This brings the total number of violent deaths in the region to seven within just 24 hours. On Tuesday, authorities reported more victims found in the municipalities of Culiacán, Elota, and Mazatlán.

Among the victims identified was a local cattle rancher named Ramón Velázquez Ontiveros, as well as a police officer from Mazatlán, who was killed by a motorcyclist outside his home in San Marcos.

Málaga paralyzed by new storm as torrential rains hit Spain

Thousands of people were evacuated and trains were suspended as torrential rains once again struck Spain on Wednesday, following the devastating floods that killed at least 223 people two weeks ago, most of them in the Valencia region.

The national meteorological agency (Aemet) issued a maximum, red-level alert for the Andalusian province of Málaga in the south, and for Tarragona in the northeast, due to the new DANA (isolated depression at high levels), also known as a cold drop.

The city of Málaga appeared to be the hardest hit by the rains, with more than 3,000 people evacuated from 1,000 homes near rivers, flooded streets, and the suspension of urban transport and train services to Madrid.

“Today Málaga is paralyzed,” said Andalusia’s regional president, Juan Manuel Moreno, to reporters. “I know it is a problem for citizens not being able to take their children to school or go to work, but after what we saw in Valencia, we need to ‘prevent’ and minimize the impact in terms of loss of life,” he added.

The storm also led to the postponement of a match between Spain and Poland in the Billie Jean King Cup women’s tennis competition, which was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon in Málaga.

Hezbollah launches explosive drone strike on Israel’s defense headquarters

The Lebanese Islamist movement Hezbollah claimed on Wednesday that it launched an attack with explosive drones against the Israeli army’s headquarters in Tel Aviv.

The Iran-backed organization reported in a statement that it had carried out “an aerial attack with a squadron of explosive drones” targeting the site that houses Israel’s main defense institutions.

Hezbollah later stated that it also fired a barrage of rockets at the Glilot military intelligence base in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.

The Israeli military indicated that “sirens sounded in several areas of northern and central Israel following the launch of projectiles from Lebanon.”

It later clarified that “five projectiles were identified over the territory, and some were intercepted.”
