Further, they destroyed all electricity, phone, and sewage water networks and 8 vehicles.
They also leveled 50 dunums of agricultural land including 10 greenhouses.
Furthermore, the IOF killed 7 Palestinian civilians in Beit Hanoun.
130 injured were reported, including 5 children.

Moreover, the IOF arrested 4 Palestinians in Beit Hanoun; Imad Qasem Al Kafarna, Ahmed Rateb Shabat, Saddam Jaber Ashour, and Mansour Ahmed Al Kafarna.
The IOF continue to prevent Palestinians from their right to movement as they maintain closed Rafah crossing, the only outlet for the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip through which to access the outside world.
However, the crossing is open today for only incoming passengers who have been stranded at the Egyptian side of the terminal since June 25.
