Israeli airstrikes kill at least 51 Palestinians in southern Gaza
Palestinians mourn for relatives killed in the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip at a hospital morgue in Deir al-Balah, October 2, 2024

ISRAELI air strikes on the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza today killed at least 51 people, including women and children, according to Palestinian medical officials.

Israel has continued to strike what it says are militant targets across Gaza nearly a year after Hamas’s October 7 attack ignited the war there, and even as the attention of the world has shifted to Lebanon and Iran. 

Records at the European Hospital show that seven women and 12 children, one as young as 22 months old, were among those killed.
