At least three Palestinians, including a child, were killed and several others wounded in an Israeli strike on a tent sheltering displaced people in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, Palestinian local media reported on Wednesday.

According to the reports, Israeli helicopters targeted a tent belonging to the al-Balawi family near the Faculty area, west of Khan Younis.

The strike killed at least three Palestinians, including a young girl, and wounded several others, the reports said.

Witnesses said the attack caused widespread panic among displaced families sheltering in the area.

Despite a ceasefire that took effect on October 10 2025, Israeli attacks have since killed 1,209 Palestinians and injured 3,943 others, the majority of them women and children, according to Palestinian authorities.

Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians and wounded over 174,000 others since October 2023, while destroying about 90 percent of the enclave's civilian infrastructure.
