Israeli air strike on Khan Younis kills four family members

Israeli fighter jets targeted the family home of journalist Ahmed al-Zard in southeastern Khan Younis, southern Gaza, Wafa news agency reported.

The strike resulted in the deaths of al-Zard's brother, uncle, and two cousins. Al-Zard himself, along with his mother and another brother, was seriously injured and is currently receiving treatment in hospital.

Reports indicate that several people remain trapped under the rubble of the demolished home, and Wafa added that Israeli forces initially fired on those approaching the site, including ambulance crews, preventing them from assisting the wounded.
