An Israeli airstrike killed at least one Palestinian on Wednesday in the al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, Wafa news agency reported. The strike hit the coastal zone between Khan Younis and Rafah, where thousands of displaced Palestinians have sought shelter during the conflict.
The attack marked the latest Israeli military operation in Khan Younis, a city that has endured repeated bombardment since fighting intensified in October 2023. Al-Mawasi, a narrow coastal strip, has become increasingly crowded with displaced civilians seeking refuge from operations elsewhere in Gaza. Israeli forces did not immediately clarify the intended target of Wednesday's bombing.
