At least 16 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Palestinian homes in northern Gaza in the early hours of this Tuesday, the Palestinian Civil Defence reports.
A new Israeli military assault on eastern Khan Younis in southern Gaza has killed at least 77 Palestinians and injured more than 200, according to health officials in Gaza, with another 30 people believed buried under the rubble.
The attack by tanks, aircraft and artillery came just minutes after the Israeli military ordered the evacuation of areas in Khan Younis that the Civil Defence says affects more than 400,000 people.
UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini has called for accountability after Israel’s military attacked a “clearly marked” UN convoy travelling to Gaza City in “coordination” with Israeli authorities.
At least 39,006 people have been killed and 89,818 injured in Israel’s war on Gaza. The death toll in Israel from Hamas-led attacks on October 7 is estimated at 1,139, with dozens of people still held captive in Gaza.
