Israeli occupation forces launched a wave of devastating artillery and airstrikes across the Gaza Strip early Thursday morning, with Khan Yunis in the southern region facing the heaviest bombardment.
The relentless attacks over the past few hours have resulted in more than 40 Palestinian martyrs, with the majority occurring in Khan Yunis.

Khan Yunis Under Siege
In a coordinated assault, Israeli occupation forces conducted simultaneous airstrikes on eight separate residential homes in Khan Yunis, killing approximately 30 people. Local hospitals, particularly Nasser Hospital, were overwhelmed as numerous injured children were rushed in for emergency treatment.
The bombardment targeted multiple areas within Khan Yunis, including the towns of Khuza’a and Abasan al-Kabira, the al-Sanati district, areas near the Bani Suhaila roundabout, and al-Satr al-Sharqi in the east. The western al-Mawasi area and the Abu Hadaf area east of al-Qarara town also came under attack.
Beyond airstrikes, Israeli occupation forces unleashed artillery shelling and machine gun fire on Abasan al-Kabira. In al-Mawasi, one person was killed when artillery shells struck a tent housing displaced civilians.
