The Israeli army on Thursday morning killed at least eight Palestinians, including an entire family, in deadly strikes in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, as Israel continues its genocide, defying international calls for a ceasefire.
The official Palestinian news agency Wafa said an entire family, comprising a man, his wife, and three children, were killed in an Israeli strike on the Al-Mawasi area in western Khan Younis.
Three others were killed in Israeli strikes on different areas in Khan Younis, local sources reported.
The Israeli army, rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, has pursued a brutal offensive against Gaza since October 2023, killing more than 54,600 Palestinians, most of them women and children.
Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war crimes against civilians in the enclave.
