Gaza - The Israeli occupation government ordered an all-out-war against
the densely populated Gaza Strip as Israeli tanks and troops started an
incursion into the southern part of the Strip near Rafah district at
dawn Wednesday.

The operation dubbed "summer rain" was preceded with intensive air
strikes by Israeli F-16 warplanes and Apache choppers against
infrastructures in the Strip, hitting two bridges connecting southern,
central, and northern parts of the Strip as well as the main
electricity station that supplies the Strip with 70% of electricity,
thus, sending it into total darkness.

In Rafah, the Israeli tanks advanced in areas south of Rafah and seized
the non- operational Arafat international airport after ordering
elements of the PA national security to leave it.

Palestinian citizens living in Al-Shoukeh town near Rafah were forced
by those troops to leave them at gunpoint, after which, the IOF troops
occupied those homes and turned them into military barracks.

More mock air raids were launched by the Israeli war planes that
penetrated the sound barrier over Gaza city, inflicting damages on
Palestinians homes and terrorizing innocent children and women in the
city.
