Israeli Strikes in Khan Younis and Gaza City Kill Five Palestinians
An Israeli drone strike killed a 9-year-old boy in eastern Khan Younis on April 28 while he was reportedly collecting cardboard for fuel. Separately, an Israeli airstrike targeted a vehicle in Gaza City, killing four individuals. The IDF stated the Khan Younis strike targeted a suspect who approached the 'yellow line' demarcation of the Israeli-occupied zone. These incidents occurred as UN experts released a report documenting that over 371,000 housing units have been destroyed in Gaza, leaving 60 percent of the population homeless.
