Israeli Drone Strike Hits Displaced Persons Camp in Khan Younis, Injuring Nine
An Israeli drone strike targeted a gathering of civilians near tents housing displaced people in Khan Younis on Tuesday, according to eyewitnesses. Medical sources reported that the number of injured rose to nine, with varying degrees of wounds, up from an initial report of four.
The strike occurs amid ongoing Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip, which the report claims violate a ceasefire agreement. Israeli artillery also shelled areas east of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, and east of Gaza City and the Jabalia camp in the north.
Additionally, Israeli naval vessels reportedly fired on fishing boats off the coast of Gaza City. These actions are described as part of continued restrictions on residents and displaced individuals.
Since the start of the conflict on October 8, 2023, over 73,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 174,000 injured, with approximately 90 percent of the Gaza Strip's infrastructure destroyed, according to the provided data.
