At least nine Palestinians, among them children, were killed and several others wounded when Israeli strikes hit tents housing displaced families in the Al-Mawasi coastal area of Khan Younis in southern Gaza late Friday, according to local reports. Witnesses said two drone attacks struck adjacent encampments, including a tent belonging to the Abu Raida family next to the Kuwaiti Field Hospital. The blasts ignited fires and scattered shrapnel through the densely packed shelters, leaving women and children among the dead. The incident adds to the mounting civilian toll in Gaza’s ongoing conflict. Israeli military officials had not issued a statement on the strikes or the reported casualties by late evening.
