12 Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrike on southern Gaza Strip
GAZA, Palestine (AA) – Twelve Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a house in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip on Wednesday.
Medical sources told Anadolu: “At least 12 Palestinians were killed, and dozens were injured in the shelling that hit a house belonging to the Abu Is’haq family in the eastern part of the Khan Yunis Governorate.”
The airstrike came less than 24 hours after an Israeli airstrike on a hospital in Gaza that took an estimated 500 lives and drew widespread condemnation.
A international chorus of non-governmental groups and world leaders is saying the Israeli bombing campaign on Gaza – including healthcare facilities, residences, and houses of worship – violates international law and may constitute war crimes.
