Israeli Strike on Khan Yunis: Dozens Dead in Humanitarian Zone

In a recent Israeli airstrike on a humanitarian zone in Khan Yunis, Gaza, at least 40 Palestinians were killed and 60 injured. The attack targeted a tent encampment crowded with displaced Palestinians, causing significant damage and creating deep craters.

The Israeli military claims to have targeted Hamas terrorists in the area, while Hamas denies any involvement. This attack, along with other incidents in the region, has escalated the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, which began in October 2023. The conflict has resulted in the deaths of over 41,000 Palestinians and the displacement of nearly 2.3 million people.

The Israeli army has faced criticism for its actions, including stopping a UN convoy in the Gaza Strip and causing damage to UN vehicles. The UN has denied Israel's claims that the convoy was supporting a polio vaccination campaign.

The UN Human Rights Commissioner has called for an end to the war in Gaza, highlighting the urgent need for a ceasefire. Additionally, tensions have risen between Israel and the international community, with Australia coordinating efforts with the UK and other allies to pressure Israel over its actions in Gaza.
