The airstrike targeted a tent in the Mawasi district of Khan Younis in the southern part of the Gaza Strip late on Sunday, according to accounts from local medical officials. The strike resulted in casualties among residents sheltering in the area.
Medical personnel responding to the incident confirmed the deaths, though reports varied on the exact number of those killed. The airstrike occurred in an area where displaced Palestinians have established makeshift settlements amid the ongoing conflict.
The incident represents a continuing pattern of military operations in the Gaza region. Khan Younis, located in the southern part of the territory, has been a focal point of military activity in recent months.
No immediate statement was available from Israeli military officials regarding the airstrike or its circumstances. International organisations monitoring the situation have raised concerns about civilian casualties in densely populated areas of Gaza.
