In a devastating incident, an Israeli airstrike on a residential building in Khan Younis, situated in the southern Gaza Strip, has resulted in the tragic death of ten members of a single family, as reported by the Palestinian news agency WAFA on Friday. This event underscores the escalating tensions and ongoing conflict in the region.
Casualties Reported in Khan Younis and Beit Lahia
Besides the fatalities, a number of individuals sustained injuries in the Khan Younis attack, according to reports. Details concerning the identities and conditions of the casualties were not immediately available. The Israeli military has stated they are currently reviewing the incident when approached for comment.
WAFA further conveyed that another Israeli assault, this time targeting a group of people in Beit Lahia, in the northern Gaza Strip, led to the deaths of two individuals and injuries to others. Reports indicated that additional airstrikes occurred across different parts of the coastal enclave, though specific casualty numbers for these incidents were not provided.
Evacuation Order Issued in Gaza City
Simultaneously, the Israeli military issued an urgent advisory, calling for the evacuation of residents from several eastern districts within Gaza City, located in the northern part of the strip. The military explained that this measure was in preparation for targeting what they termed “terrorist infrastructure” in the specified zones. Residents are urged to heed these warnings and take necessary safety precautions.
