Four Palestinians killed in Israeli air strikes on Gaza's Bani Suheila

At least four Palestinian civilians, including a woman, were killed in Israeli air strikes targeting the town of Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, over the past 24 hours, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

According to local sources, multiple air raids struck a group of civilians, and civil defence and ambulance crews were unable to recover the bodies due to the intensity of the bombardment and dangerous conditions.

Earlier on Friday, Israeli forces also carried out air and artillery strikes on Khan Younis and Rafah, in what critics say are ongoing violations of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, in place since October.
