Israeli Drone Strike Hits Displaced Persons’ Tents in Khan Younis, Killing One

Palestinian media reported that an Israeli drone carried out a strike on tents belonging to displaced persons in western Khan Younis.

Initial reports indicated that one person was killed and five others were wounded in the attack.

Simultaneously, Israeli artillery shelled the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza once again.

Heavy shelling also continued in the Al-Zeitoun and Al-Shuja’iya neighborhoods in eastern Gaza City.

Earlier on Monday, Israeli warplanes destroyed several residential homes in Rafah, in southern Gaza. Artillery attacks also persisted in the northern areas of the city during the airstrikes.

The Al-Mawasi area and Bani Suheila town in Khan Younis were bombed again, as they had been in recent days.

At least three civilians were killed in those attacks, and several others were injured.

In another strike, four people were killed and others injured when a house in the Al-Zanah area, east of Khan Younis, was bombed.

Several civilians remain unaccounted for following the attack.

Israeli artillery also struck areas east of Jabalia, north of Al-Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, and Qizan Raswan in southern Khan Younis.

In northern Gaza, Palestinian media reported that Israeli drones targeted the Abu Qamar area in Jabalia refugee camp.

No official casualty toll for the period between midnight and early Monday morning has yet been released.

Health authorities in Gaza stated that the number of fatalities continues to rise amid ongoing attacks, a severe shortage of medical supplies, and limited access to healthcare.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said in a statement that renewed Israeli attacks and the collapse of a ceasefire have displaced nearly 420,000 people again across the Gaza Strip.
