Attack targets tent for displaced Palestinians east of Khan Younis, Civil Defense Agency says.
GAZA CITY, Palestine
At least three Palestinians were killed and several others injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting a refugee encampment in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, the Civil Defense Agency said.
The attack targeted a tent for displaced Palestinians in the town of al-Zanna, east of Khan Younis, the agency added in a statement.
The attack came hours after two Palestinians lost their lives in an Israeli strike targeting a residential apartment southwest of Gaza City.
Flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, Israel has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza since an attack last October by Hamas.
More than 39,600 Palestinians have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 91,600 injured, according to local health authorities.
Almost 10 months into the Israeli war, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water, and medicine.
Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which ordered it to immediately halt its military operation in the southern city of Rafah, where more than 1 million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
