Khan Younis – The Palestinian Civil Defense reported on Sunday that 12 people, including young children, were killed in Israeli airstrikes targeting various areas, mostly in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, since the start of the day.
In the early hours, Israeli fighter jets targeted three tents housing dozens of displaced people, killing “eight people, including four children aged between two and five years and two women,” Mahmoud Bassal, a spokesperson for the Civil Defense in Gaza, told AFP.
Images obtained by AFP show paramedics in the dark evacuating bodies by ambulance, one in a white plastic bag and the other wrapped in a blanket, as well as an injured baby.
Another Israeli strike targeting a “civilian vehicle” in western Khan Younis killed three more people in the afternoon, Bassal noted.
One person was also killed and three others were injured in an Israeli bombing targeting a “group of civilians” in Gaza City (north), he added.
The Israeli army, which resumed its offensive against the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas in the Gaza Strip on March 18 after a two-month truce, has not commented on these events.
The war in Gaza was triggered by the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, which resulted in the deaths of nearly 1,400 people on the Israeli side, mostly civilians. The ensuing Israeli retaliatory operations have killed at least 52,829 people in Gaza, the majority of whom are civilians, according to data published by the Hamas-run health ministry on Sunday, which the UN considers reliable.
