Palestinians inspect the remains of a displacement tent hit by an Israeli air strike overnight, killing 10 members of the Abu Al-Rous family, in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, April 17, 2025
ISRAELI strikes on the Gaza Strip killed at least 23 people yesterday, including a family of 10, local health officials said.
The strike, in the southern city of Khan Younis, killed five children, four women and a man from the same family, all of whom suffered severe burns, according to Nasser Hospital, which received the bodies.
Strikes in northern Gaza killed 13 people, including nine children, according to the Indonesian Hospital.
