Israeli strike on displacement tents in southern Gaza kills Palestinian, injures 16
Attack targets tents sheltering displaced civilians in Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis
The sources said the strike hit tents housing displaced civilians in the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis, which Israel earlier designated as a “safe zone.”
On Thursday, 11 Palestinians, including five members of the same family, were killed and dozens wounded in simultaneous Israeli airstrikes targeting residential apartments in Gaza City, according to medical sources.
Nine bodies and dozens of wounded were later received at Al-Shifa Hospital, with some bodies arriving dismembered and others severely burned, the sources added.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza since October 2023 has killed nearly 73,000 Palestinians and injured more than 173,000, most of them women and children.
Despite a ceasefire that took effect on Oct. 10, 2025, the Israeli army has killed at least 936 Palestinians and injured 2,903 in near-daily attacks, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
