BREAKING NEWS: Israeli Airstrike Hits Khan Younis, Chaos Ensues as People Flee
A tragic scene unfolded in Khan Younis as chaos erupted after an Israeli airstrike hit a designated humanitarian area, resulting in the deaths of at least 90 Palestinians and injuring around 300 others. The strike was said to target senior Hamas leaders, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated there was uncertainty regarding their fate.
Eyewitnesses described the aftermath as resembling an earthquake, with smouldering wreckage and bloodied casualties being loaded onto stretchers. Desperate individuals were seen digging through rubble with their bare hands, a harrowing sight captured in videos from the area.
Mr. Netanyahu defended the operation, claiming he sought to ensure no hostages were in the vicinity and minimize collateral damage. He vowed to eliminate all senior Hamas members, a promise met with criticism from Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who accused Israel of obstructing ceasefire efforts with “heinous massacres.”
As the conflict escalates, hospitals in the area are overwhelmed with casualties, including many civilians, predominantly women and children. The Nasser medical complex in Khan Younis is reportedly unable to function properly, exacerbating the crisis.
In the midst of ongoing negotiations for a ceasefire, a separate Israeli strike west of Gaza claimed 17 lives in the Shati refugee camp, sparking further outrage and condemnation. The situation remains volatile as the cycle of violence shows no signs of abating. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
