At least 15 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks on Khan Younis

Over the past few hours in Khan Younis, the Israeli military killed at least 15 Palestinians following a series of deadly attacks targeting makeshift tents in the al-Mawasi coastal area, which was classified as a humanitarian zone by Israel.

Earlier this morning, Israeli fighter jets and helicopters hovered at low altitudes, unleashing sonic booms and firing rockets at residential areas in the city [of Khan Younis]. This escalation follows Israeli reports of a serious military incident there.

It’s believed that Palestinian armed factions managed to ambush an Israeli manoeuvring force operating in Khan Younis, which may explain the intense fire cover that we have seen since the early hours of this morning.

We woke up to the sound of explosions. Buildings were shaking due to the intensity of bombardment.
