Israeli drone strike kills girl, wounds others in al-Mawasi, Khan Younis

A child was killed and others were wounded on Friday in a strike by an Israeli drone on the Mawasi area of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

Medical sources said a girl was killed and others wounded after an Israeli drone struck the area around Street 5 in Mawasi, Khan Younis, and that Israeli artillery also shelled the city centre.

Local sources said Israeli helicopters and drones opened fire on residents’ homes in the al-Nasr area west of Gaza City, while Israeli forces detonated an armoured vehicle packed with explosives, blowing up several homes in the Sabra neighbourhood in the southern part of the city.
