Palestinians report 12 killed in strike on shelter in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis

The Hamas-run civil defense agency in Gaza says an Israeli airstrike hit a school-turned-shelter for displaced Palestinians in southern Gaza earlier today, killing at least 12 people including children.

Civil defense agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal tells AFP that at least 35 others were wounded at the Ahmed bin Abdul Aziz school building in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

There is no immediate comment from the IDF.
