The number of martyrs as a result of the Israeli raids on Rafah, south of Gaza, rose to 21, according to Palestinian media.
These Israeli raids came after three Israeli soldiers were killed and 12 others were injured in a missile attack targeting the Kerem Shalom crossing.
The Israeli army reported to Agence France-Presse that 14 missiles were fired at the crossing from an area adjacent to the Rafah crossing, claiming that three of the wounded are in serious condition.
