At least 84 Palestinians killed and 329 wounded throughout the Gaza Strip, the Health Ministry said, as Israeli forces launch a new ground invasion in southern city of Khan Younis.
At least 39,090 people have been killed and 90,147 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza since October 7, the Health Ministry said. The overall casualty figures are believed to be far higher because thousands of bodies are buried in the debris of bombed-out buildings throughout the Strip.
Israeli tanks pushed into the Khan Younis suburb of Bani Suheila and several eastern districts of the second-largest city were heavily bombed for a second day.
Tens of thousands of Palestinians fled southern areas of Gaza following the Israeli army’s evacuation order for parts of Khan Younis, including the al-Mawasi "humanitarian zone”.
The latest assault comes a week after the health ministry said 92 people were killed in an attack on al-Mawasi. (Agencies)
