Five Killed In Israeli Strikes In Gaza's Southern City Of Khan Younis

A pair of Israeli strikes in Gaza's southern city of Khan Younis early Thursday killed five people, according to hospital officials, raising the death toll from airstrikes in the Palestinian territory over a roughly 12-hour period to 33. The strikes have been some of the deadliest since Oct. 10 when the US-brokered ceasefire came into force. Officials at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis said they received the bodies of 17 people, among five women and five children following four Israeli airstrikes targeting tents sheltering displaced people. In Gaza City, two airstrikes on a building killed 16 people, including seven children and three women, said officials at Al-Shifa hospital in northern part of the city where the bodies were taken.
