Most violent attack overnight in Gaza’s Khan Younis kills at least 20
“In just the past few minutes, there was a funeral for people killed in overnight strikes on central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah. But the most violent attacks happened in southern Khan Younis, in the al-Mawasi evacuation zone,” Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports.
“We’re talking about five air strikes within a span of 45 minutes. These attacks targeted two tents, one residential flat, a home, and a vehicle. A total of 20 people were killed — including five children. The flat housed displaced people from Gaza City.
“People were literally told to move to this area because it’s designated by the Israeli military as a ‘safe zone’. It highlights only one fact — that even marked evacuation zones are not safe for people,” Mahmoud said.
In central Gaza, three people were killed in an attack on a home in Deir el-Balah. People arrived at Al-Aqsa Hospital with critical injuries, but because of the lack of medical supplies, they are not going to be treatable.
In Bureij refugee camp, at midnight a four-storey building was flattened to the ground. Civil defence members were able to recover only the body of a four-month-old baby from under the rubble. Rescue efforts were initiated again this morning, but until now they’re unable to find any other bodies.
