The Palestinian health department in the Gaza Strip issued a statement on the 7th, saying that in the past 24 hours, the Israeli army has carried out a total of 9 military operations in the Gaza Strip, resulting in 83 deaths and 142 injuries. Since October 7 last year, Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip have taken place for 3080,000 Palestinians were killed and 72,298 injured.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on the 7th that despite the increasing pressure from the international community to demand a truce, the Israeli army will continue to launch attacks on Hamas throughout the Gaza Strip, including the offensive in the southern Gaza Strip. "Whoever tells Israel not to act in Rafah is telling Israel to accept defeat, and this will not happen," he stressed. "Rafah is the last stronghold of Hamas," he said.
