Israeli air strikes kill 26 in southern Gaza, wound 23 more as deadly offensive looms
By Miles Schachner
An early Saturday morning airstrike in Khan Younis, a residential district in southern Gaza, killed 26 Palestinians and wounded 23 more, according to Reuters.
Continued Israeli attacks in the south, particularly Khan Younis, which has a population of 400,000, could displace more Palestinians, hundreds of thousands of whom fled Gaza City in the north, the report said.
Senior Israeli sources told Reuters an offensive in the southern region could prove more complex and cause more bloodshed, with Hamas having a stronger foothold in the Khan Younis area.
"All of them were martyred. They had nothing to do with the (Hamas) resistance," Eyad Al-Zaeem, who lost his aunt, her children, and her grandchildren in the attack, said to the outlet.
