At least 13 Palestinians, including women and children, have been killed and others wounded after Israeli forces bombed multiple areas in Gaza’s Khan Younis, according to Wafa reports compiled by Al Jazeera.

Seven people were killed and others injured when Israeli forces bombed a tent encampment sheltering displaced families in the al-Mawasi area, it quoted Wafa as saying.

Additional casualties were reported in an Israeli strike on Abasan al-Kabira, east of Gaza’s second-largest city.

A young girl was shot and killed by Israeli forces in the industrial zone northwest of the city, while a woman succumbed to her injuries from a previous attack in Khan Younis.

Two more Palestinians died in a drone strike targeting Palestinians in Batn as-Sameen, southwest of Khan Younis.
