Ammon News - At least six Palestinians, including children and women, were killed and several others wounded in a series of Israeli airstrikes last night that struck multiple areas of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, according to medical sources.

A man, his wife, and their two children from the Qanan family were killed when their apartment was bombed by Israeli fighter jets in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis.

In a separate strike, a man was killed when an Israeli warplane targeted a tent belonging to the family of former prisoner Bassam al-Najjar in the town of Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Younis.

Meanwhile, a woman was killed in an Israeli airstrike on her home in the Al-Amal neighborhood in the city.

Six others were injured, two of them critically, when an Israeli missile struck another tent west of the town of al-Qarara, north of Khan Younis.

Earlier Saturday night, several civilians were injured in an artillery shelling that hit an apartment in Al-Nathir Street in Jabalia al-Balad, northern Gaza.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 52,495 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 118,366 others injured.

Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks.

Israel's genocidal attacks continue unabated despite calls from the UN Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice urging measures to prevent genocide and alleviate the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. WAFA
