GAZA, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) — At least 14 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks on the Khan Younis city in the southern Gaza Strip, Palestinian medical sources said Monday.
Ten people, including women, were killed in an airstrike targeting the home of the al-Najjar family in Khan Younis, medical sources told Xinhua.
Three Palestinian youths were killed in a second airstrike targeting a civilian vehicle traveling on Salah al-Din Street in the east of Khan Younis, the sources reported.
In addition, a Palestinian woman was killed and her child critically injured in an Israeli drone attack on an intersection in the city, according to the sources.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli army on these incidents.
Israel has been launching a large-scale offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip to retaliate against a Hamas rampage through the southern Israeli border on Oct. 7, 2023.
