3 Martyrs in a Raid Targeting a Police Checkpoint in Khan Yunis and Escalation Affecting Displaced Persons' Tents

Three Palestinian citizens were martyred and others were injured at dawn today as a result of an airstrike carried out by occupation drones targeting a security checkpoint belonging to the Palestinian police in the city of Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip. Field sources reported that a drone fired two missiles directly at a police point located in the Al-Maslakh area west of the city, leading to the martyrdom of Muhammad Al-Dadda, Hussam Sharab, and a third martyr, all of whom were transferred to the medical complex in the city.

In a related context, the occupation's shelling targeted a food warehouse in the northwestern area of Khan Yunis, resulting in injuries and a massive fire that spread to nearby displaced persons' tents, leaving a state of panic and destruction among the families who were forcibly displaced to that area.

Other areas of the Strip witnessed similar escalation, as warplanes destroyed three homes in Al-Shati Camp in Gaza City, shortly after the occupation army sent forced evacuation orders for a residential block in the Al-Muntazah area. The destruction also affected a house in Deir al-Balah city located near Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, causing severe damage to a nearby mosque and to public and private property in the area.

An occupation drone fired at least two missiles directly at the police point in the Al-Maslakh area.
