Israeli airstrike kills six in Khan Younis humanitarian zone
An Israeli airstrike hit the Al-Mawasi area in western Khan Younis early on March 29, 2026, killing six people and wounding four others. Al-Mawasi has been designated as a humanitarian safe zone for thousands of displaced Palestinians. The strike occurred amid reports of continuous drone surveillance and naval shelling along the Gaza coast. While an October ceasefire remains officially in effect, low-level clashes and airstrikes have persisted as the Israeli military shifts its primary focus toward Iran and Lebanon.
