Over 70 Killed In Israeli Strike In Gaza's Khan Younis, IDF Claims Hamas Military Chief Deif Target

An Israeli airstrike killed at least 71 Palestinians in a designated humanitarian zone in Gaza on Saturday, the enclave's health ministry said, in an attack that Israel said targeted Hamas' military chief Mohammed Deif. Hamas said in a statement that Israeli claims that it had targeted leaders of the group were false and aimed at justifying the attack. The Israeli military said that the strike against Deif also targeted Rafa Salama, the commander of Hamas' Khan Younis Brigade, describing them as two of the masterminds of the Oct. 7 attack that triggered the nine-month war in Gaza. #israel #israelattackonkhanyounis #israelairstrike #israelattacktoday #gaza #palestine #livenews n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
