The spokesperson for the Khan Younis Municipality, Saeb Laqqan, warned that more than 900,000 displaced Palestinians are currently living in makeshift tents in the coastal al-Mawasi area, expressing deep concern for their safety as a weather depression approaches.
Laqqan stressed the urgent need to pressure the Israeli occupation to allow the entry of essential equipment required by the municipality to carry out its work and secure the displaced population in these emergency conditions.
Earlier today, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in the Gaza Strip reported that Israeli warplanes launched two airstrikes southeast of Khan Younis, in the southern part of the besieged territory. The strikes coincided with gunfire from Israeli tanks positioned south of the city.
IOF violations continue unabated
"Israel" has continued its violations of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, launching airstrikes, artillery shellings, and attacking ambulance crews to prevent them from reaching wounded Palestinians.
Israeli warplanes launched two airstrikes southeast of Khan Younis on Thursday, as tanks opened fire in the southern part of the city, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Gaza.
Our correspondent reported that Israeli attacks have continued across the enclave, with Khan Younis bearing the brunt of the escalation.
'Israel' continues to violate the ceasefire in Gaza
Hamas accused "Israel" of daily violations of the ceasefire agreement signed in Sharm el-Sheikh nearly a month ago, holding it fully responsible for undermining the deal and seeking to derail it.
On November 11, the Government Media Office in Gaza published horrifying statistics detailing the Israeli violations committed since the ceasefire was reached on October 10. According to figures compiled by the office, "Israel" committed 282 ceasefire violations during this period, killing 242 Palestinians and injuring 620 others.
The documentation details a broad range of violations, including 88 shooting incidents targeting civilians, 12 incursions into residential areas beyond the yellow-line buffer zone, 124 airstrikes and attacks, 52 demolitions of civilian homes, and the arrest of 23 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip.
