Israeli air strike kills four Palestinians in southern Gaza

An Israeli air strike on a fuel depot in the Al-Buraq Al-Janoubi area, west of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, killed four Palestinians, the Palestinian Wafa news agency reported, according to Al Jazeera. The strike took place this evening, the report said.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said the total death toll in Gaza since October 2023 has reached at least 74,377, with 175,398 others wounded. The ministry has not provided a breakdown of the latest casualties.

Israel's military campaign in Gaza, described by Palestinian officials and several international bodies as genocidal, has continued across the territory. The strike on the fuel depot is the latest in a series of incidents reported by Palestinian media in the Khan Younis area.

According to Mehr News, which cited Wafa and Al Jazeera, the attack targeted the fuel facility this evening. The report did not specify the identities of those killed or whether the depot was in civilian use.
