Gaza’s civil defence agency said that an Israeli operation in and around the territory’s second city of Khan Younis killed about 300 people since it began last week, while the army said it had “eliminated 150 terrorists”.

“Since the beginning of the Israeli ground invasion of the eastern part of Khan Yunis province, the civil defence and medical teams have recovered approximately 300 bodies of martyrs, many of them decomposed,” agency spokesperson Mahmud Bassal told AFP.
