Israel launches air strikes on Khan Younis in Gaza Strip

Israel carried out four air strikes on Khan Younis on Wednesday, according to Haaretz.

The air strikes came hours after four to five Israeli soldiers were wounded after they attacked Palestinians emerging from tunnels in Israel-controlled Rafah in the Gaza Strip earlier on Wednesday.

Around 60 to 80 members of Hamas are said to be trapped in tunnels in the area despite them requesting safe passage. Israel says they must either surrender or be killed.

A ceasefire has been in place since 10 October, but Israel has killed more than 300 Palestinians since then.
