Israeli air strikes kill more than 50 people in Khan Younis in second consecutive night of bombing
Palestinians evacuate after the Israeli army issued an evacuation warning for several schools and a hospital in Gaza City's Rimal neighbourhood, May 14, 2025

MULTIPLE Israel air strikes hit the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis early today and the night before, killing more than 50 people in a second consecutive night of heavy bombing, while another air strike in the north left more than a dozen people dead.

The strikes came as US President Donald Trump tours the Middle East, visiting Gulf states but not Israel.

There had been widespread hope that Mr Trump’s regional visit could usher in a ceasefire deal or renewal of humanitarian aid to Gaza. An Israeli blockade of the Palestinian territory is now in its third month.
