26 killed in IDF strike in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis — report
The Palestinian news agency Wafa reports that 26 people were killed overnight in an Israeli military strike on buildings in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
Wafa said dozens are injured in the strikes.
The agency also says the area around the Indonesian Hospital in Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza was hit, as were targets in the Jabaliya camp, also in northern Gaza.
The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry claims that 12,000 people had been killed in Gaza since the start of the war on October 7, including at least 4,700 children and 3,000 women. The figures cannot be independently verified and do not distinguish between civilians and terrorists, and also do not differentiate between those killed by Israeli airstrikes or by failed Palestinian rocket launches.
