The Israeli Air Force conducted airstrikes in a humanitarian area of southern Gaza, targeting a supposed militant command center amidst significant civilian casualties, according to local reports.
The Israeli military stated that the strikes targeted militants operating from a command center in the Khan Younis humanitarian zone, while attempting to mitigate civilian risk. Yet, civilians reported entire families missing and substantial destruction.
Civil Defense in Gaza reported that there was no warning before the strikes, leading to severe casualties among civilians, with entire families disappearing and requests for urgent rescue equipment.
Videos showed desperate searches in rubble with limited equipment by emergency workers. The area, described as 'once sparsely populated,' now housed many drawn by a prior designation of safety, complicating the humanitarian efforts.
