At least nine civilians killed in Israeli bombardment on Gaza, Khan Yunis

GAZA: At least nine civilians were killed and several others injured this morning in a series of Israeli aerial and artillery strikes on Gaza City and Khan Yunis in the besieged Gaza Strip, as the ongoing Israeli genocide campaign on the enclave marks its 114th day in a row. In Gaza City, local sources reported that Israeli warplanes targeted a residence belonging to the Salmi family in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood. The airstrike resulted in the murder of at least eight civilians and left dozens injured, with some others believed to be trapped under the rubble. Furthermore, one fatality and four wounded individuals arrived at Nasser Medical Hospital in Khan Yunis, south of the territory, following an artillery shelling by Israeli occupation forces on a house in the Joura Al-Aqad area, west of the city. In a preliminary toll, the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7 has resulted in the murder of 26,257 individuals, the majority of whom are innocent civilians, and 64,797 injuries. Worse still , the aggression has resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly 2 million people from all of the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt-in what has become Palestine's largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
