Dozens of displaced citizens were killed, and others were injured, as a result of an Israeli artillery shelling that targeted an educational building belonging to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Refugees (UNRWA) in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli artillery targeted the UNRWA Industrial School building in Khan Yunis, which houses more than 10,000 displaced people. The bombing led to the outbreak of a huge fire in their tents, killing and wounding dozens, noting that occupation tanks have been surrounding the building for several days.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that the occupation forces surrounded its crews inside the society’s building and Al-Amal Hospital, and imposed a curfew in their vicinity.

Medical sources confirmed that Israeli army isolated the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis, which is in dire need of medical and food supplies and fuel, as it houses hundreds of injured and sick people, and maternity cases facing serious complications due to the siege.
