Gaza’s civil defence agency said Israeli air strikes hit two homes at dawn on Friday in Khan Yunis, the territory’s main southern city, killing at least 20 people.
Fourteen people were killed in a strike that hit the home of the Al-Fara family, and another six were killed in a separate air raid, according to agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal.
Medics at the Nasser Medical complex confirmed the casualties at the Al-Fara home and released the names of the dead.
The military, in a statement giving an operational update, said that “a number of terrorists were eliminated from the air and ground” in southern Gaza.
While Israeli forces continue to operate across Gaza, recent weeks have seen an intensified air and ground assault in the territory’s north, where the military reports Hamas fighters are regrouping.
Israeli tanks shell the overwhelmed Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza and strafe the facility with machine-gun fire as life-saving surgeries cease after troops arrest most doctors.
At least 17 Palestinians were killed, including an 11-month-old baby, and 42 wounded in an Israeli attack on a school-turned-shelter in central Gaza’s Nuseirat camp. The Israeli army has killed at least 19 people in Lebanon in the past 24 hours, bringing the total death toll since the start of the war to 2,593.
Gaza’s Government Media Office says more than 770 Palestinians have been killed and 1,000 wounded as the Israeli military attack on Jabalia and the siege of northern Gaza enter their 20th day.
