GAZA CITY, Palestine
Six Palestinians were killed and four others injured early Sunday in an Israeli airstrike on the al-Mawasi area in western Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip.
The airstrike caused the death of six Palestinians, whose bodies were brought to Nasser Hospital, and left four others with varying injuries, medical sources told Anadolu.
Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that an Israeli drone strike targeted a group of civilians in the "Bir 19" area in al-Mawasi of Khan Younis early Sunday.
Israeli forces have carried out daily violations of a ceasefire in place since Oct. 10, which have killed 691 people and wounded 1,876 as of March 18, according to Palestine Health Ministry data.
Israel launched a war on Gaza in October 2023, killing more than 72,000 Palestinians, wounding around 172,000, and devastating about 90% of the enclave’s civilian infrastructure.
