At dawn on Friday, Israeli airstrikes targeted two homes in Khan Yunis, Gaza’s main southern city, resulting in at least 20 fatalities, according to Gaza’s civil defence agency. The agency’s spokesman, Mahmud Bassal, provided details on the casualties.
Breakdown of Casualties:
- Al-Fara Family Home: 14 people lost their lives in this strike, with medics at the Nasser Medical complex confirming the casualties and releasing the names of the deceased.
- Separate Air Raid: An additional six people were killed.
The Israeli military released a statement, reporting that airstrikes and ground operations in southern Gaza eliminated “a number of terrorists.” This development comes amidst an intensified air and ground assault by Israeli forces in northern Gaza, where Hamas militants are reportedly regrouping ¹.
