GAZA STRIP, Palestinian Territories, Oct 25, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Gaza's civil

defence agency said Israeli air strikes hit two homes at dawn on Friday in
Khan Yunis, the territory's main southern city, killing at least 20 people.

Fourteen people were killed in a strike that hit the home of the Al-Fara
family, and another six were killed in a separate air raid, according to
agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal.

Medics at the Nasser Medical complex confirmed the casualties at the Al-Fara
home and released the names of the dead.

The military, in a statement giving an operational update, said that "a
number of terrorists were eliminated from the air and ground" in southern
Gaza.

While Israeli forces continue to operate across Gaza, recent weeks have seen
an intensified air and ground assault in the territory's north, where the
military reports Hamas militants are regrouping.
