GAZA: Israeli occupation forces Tuesday evening killed a displaced Palestinian to the west of the city of Khan Younes in the southern war-torn Gaza Strip, according to local sources.
They said that the occupation forces opened gunfire towards Asdaa’ tent city camp for displaced people, west of Khan Younes, killing one.
Meanwhile, Israeli artillery pounded Abasan al-Kabira town and al-Mahatta neighborhood, east and north of the city, at a time when the occupation forces blew up residential buildings in the city.
Israel has proceeded with its genocidal offensive on the war-torn Strip in complete disregard of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which ordered Israel in a legally binding decision to halt its military offensive in Rafah, which may violate its obligations under the Genocide Convention.
Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7, killing at least 40,476 Palestinians and injuring over 93,647 others.
Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead un
der the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.
Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
