Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum reports that “a very bloody attack” has been carried out by Israeli fighter jets, that had launched a strike using three missiles that completely destroyed a number of residences, including houses and a tower, in the southern part of the Gaza city of Khan Younis.

At least two Palestinians have been confirmed killed, including a woman and her daughter, Azzoum reports. The attack also left a great deal of destruction. Rubble is scattered around the site of the strike, where families around the neighbouring area are going through shock and fear due to the strike, he adds.

According to Azzoum, Khan Younis has been a focus of Israeli attacks in the past 24 hours. Witnesses have confirmed that Israeli quadcopters were used extensively to attack al-Mawasi. Families there have been trapped in a tiny patch of land after the Israeli military incursion of Rafah district.
