An undetermined number were killed in a similar incident in Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, one of the hardest hit neighborhoods in Gaza.

Wafa reported that aviation and artillery also fired on the north and west of the city of Khan Yunis, and the adjacent area known as Hamad Town.

After launching a large-scale ground offensive against Khan Yunis, the Israeli army recently advanced against Hamad Town, one of the poorest areas of the territory.

Precisely, this Wednesday, the Israeli Armed Forces announced in a statement that its troops continue fighting with Palestinian militiamen in both localities.

More than 31,000 Palestinians have been killed and 72,000 wounded since the beginning of the aggression against the coastal enclave on October 7, according to official figures.
