- Story Text: Palestinians inspected on Wednesday (March 19) the damage caused by an overnight Israeli strike on makeshift tents sheltering displaced families in Khan Younis.
"This man’s tent was targeted, they killed his wife and children. He is also in a hopeless state," said Palestinian man Ibrahim Al-Hamidi as he stood among the rubble at the damaged site.
Israeli strikes killed at least five Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, health officials in the enclave said, and the Israeli army, which resumed attacks against the territory, said it targeted a Hamas military site in the north.
The Israeli military said it struck a Hamas site in northern Gaza, where they detected preparations for firing into Israeli territory. Israel resumed airstrikes a day earlier as both sides traded blame over breaking a ceasefire and shattering nearly two months of relative calm.
On Wednesday, the Israeli army dropped leaflets on areas in Beit Hanoun and Khan Younis in the northern and southern Gaza Strip, ordering residents to evacuate their homes warning them they were in "dangerous combat zones."
Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday (March 18) left more than 400 people dead, according to Palestinian health authorities, and Israel warned the onslaught was "just the beginning."
Hamas-led gunmen attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people and taking hostages, according to Israeli tallies. The Israeli campaign in Gaza has killed more than 48,000 people, say Palestinian health authorities.
