Israeli strikes on Khan Yunis humanitarian zone leave dozens dead
ai generated text
The Israeli military has launched a series of airstrikes in the Gaza Strip, specifically targeting a Hamas command center in the al-Mawasi camp in Khan Younis. The strikes resulted in the deaths of at least 40 people and injured over 60, with some reports suggesting that the death toll may be higher. The Israeli military claims that it used precise munitions to avoid civilian casualties, but local residents and rescue teams report that the strikes hit tents housing displaced people, causing significant damage and loss of life.
Attempting to cram so many people into such a small area with such little infrastructure or services will significantly increase risks to health for people who are already on the brink.
The shocking deaths in Khan Younis only reinforce how desperately needed that ceasefire is.
What is happening in Gaza … (the) killing, destruction and tragedies broadcast daily on television, makes us feel pain, helplessness, humiliation and degradation, and makes us forget the elections and everything that is happening around us.
Hamas is engaged in guerrilla warfare and we are still fighting Hamas terrorists and pursuing Hamas leadership.
The killing of civilians must stop, and this horrific war must end.
I strongly condemn today's deadly air strikes by Israel on a densely populated area in an Israeli-designated humanitarian zone in Khan Yunis where displaced people were sheltering.
Forty people were killed and more than 60 injured, while many are still under the rubble.
The resistance has denied several times that any of its members exist within civilian gatherings or are using these places for military purposes.
The elections … should not be delayed and they serve the Palestinian cause and the region, but I also fear that there will be some abstention from voting due to these events.
Entire families disappeared in the Mawasi Khan Younis massacre, under the sand, in deep holes.
Ambulance and civil defense crews were mobilized to the site, and there is talk of a large number of killed and wounded.
