Two civil defense crews have been martyred on Wednesday by Israeli occupation forces (IOF) while doing their job in Rafah, in southern Gaza Strip.
The General Directorate of Civil Defense confirmed the martyrdom of Sergeant Firefighter Suhaib Abu Taqiya and Sergeant Hussein Abu Jamous, after being shot by the IOF, while fulfilling their duties in Rafah.
The martyrdom of the two civil defense crews has brought the total number of civil defense members killed since the outbreak of the aggression on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, to 82, the Directorate added.
Since the beginning of the Israeli war of genocide, the IOF has targeted dozens of civil defense and ambulance crews while providing services to the displaced in addition to the destruction of civil defense facilities and vehicles to prevent rescuing and evacuating the victims.
