"Israel launched a wave of air and artillery strikes that killed at least 25 people in Gaza on Wednesday, according to local health officials, after the military said "several terrorists" had "opened fire toward the area" where troops were operating in Khan Younis in the enclave's south. No soldiers were injured, according to the Israel Defense Forces, which described the incident as a violation of the ceasefire agreement Israel struck with Hamas."
"The strikes targeted at least two locations in Khan Younis, including a U.N. facility and the Mawasi area where thousands of displaced families still live in tents. They also hit neighborhoods farther north in Gaza City, with one raid killing 13 people in the area of Zeitoun, rescue workers said. The deaths added to a growing toll of Palestinian casualties since a U.S.-backed ceasefire went into effect on Oct. 10, following two years of war."
Israeli air and artillery strikes killed at least 25 people in Gaza after the military reported militants opened fire toward troops operating in Khan Younis. The Israel Defense Forces reported no soldier injuries and said the shooting violated the ceasefire, prompting strikes on Hamas targets across the Gaza Strip. At least two Khan Younis locations were hit, including a U.N. facility and the Mawasi area where thousands of displaced families live in tents, and raids struck Gaza City neighborhoods such as Zeitoun. The Gaza Health Ministry reported 280 deaths in the prior 40 days. Israeli troops have withdrawn to Gaza's eastern half and hold positions along the so-called yellow line.
