At least five people, including two children aged eight and 10, have been killed in an Israeli strike on Palestinian territory near Khan Younis. The strike hit a shelter camp near the Kuwaiti field hospital in the area, also causing injuries to several others, some of whom are seriously wounded.
The Gaza civil defence agency reported that the victims were found in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis, where the Israeli missile struck the target. Meanwhile, Israel claimed it had targeted a "Hamas terrorist" who was involved in a clash with Palestinian militants in the area, resulting in five soldiers being wounded during the encounter.
The fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which began on October 10th, has largely ceased fighting between the two sides. However, both parties have accused each other of violating its terms, sparking renewed tensions.
According to the Israeli military, clashes broke out in eastern Rafah, where soldiers encountered several militants emerging from an underground terrorist infrastructure. The soldiers were severely and moderately injured during the encounter, with three additional soldiers killed by Palestinian fire since the ceasefire began.
The health ministry in Gaza reported that 360 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the ceasefire, while Israel's military has only reported three soldiers killed during this period.
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres expressed concern over the "fundamentally wrong" way Israel conducted its military operation in the Gaza Strip, stating that there were strong reasons to believe war crimes had been committed.

Can you imagine having a shelter camp near a Kuwaiti field hospital and thinking it's a good idea to drop a missile on it? Like, what's next? They're going to have a "surprise" party in Gaza with Hamas as the guest of honor 
. Seriously though, 5 kids under 11 killed is just devastating. Israel says they were after a "Hamas terrorist", but sounds like someone got caught trying to sneak into the snack room with all the Froot Loops 
️
my heart is breaking for those innocent kids and their families, you never think of a life lost just because of politics... it's like they're just pawns on the board 
and nobody cares about them 
. Israel's explanation sounds like some BS to me, how can targeting a 'terrorist' who wasn't even in the area at that time be considered a legitimate military op? 
and btw what even is Hamas doing with those kids caught up in their fight? 
360 Palestinians dead & Israel claims they're just fighting terrorists? 
and I'm not surprised
it's like they're saying "we told ya so". Israel always thinks they're above the law, but I'm calling BS on this one. Both sides are to blame, no doubt about it. 
. Back in my day, we thought wars were a thing of the past, but I guess some things never change. 
. And now the UN is saying that war crimes have been committed? It's like, we already knew something was up with Israel's military operations 
. Can't they just talk things out like civilized people? 
It's all so frustrating 
5 kids under 11 and it's just not right 
. I mean, what was Israel thinking hitting the Kuwaiti field hospital area? Did they really need to make it that much worse? 
I feel bad for the families of those killed... 360 Palestinians lost their lives since the ceasefire started? That's a lot of innocent people caught in the crossfire 
It just seems like more propaganda to me. I hope the UN Secretary-General is right that war crimes were committed here... we need some accountability, you know?
