The Israeli army killed a Palestinian family of five early Friday after bombing a displacement tent in the Al-Mawasi area, city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, reported Anadolu Agency.

The victims were members of the Abu Taima family: a couple and their three children aged eight, six, and four.

The family had been sheltering in the tent after being forcibly displaced from their home in eastern Khan Younis by ongoing Israeli attacks.

Medical personnel confirmed the deaths and said the remains of the victims were retrieved from the rubble at dawn.

Elsewhere in Khan Younis, Israeli warplanes launched two separate airstrikes on a house in the Al-Manara neighborhood. No casualties were immediately reported.

In a separate incident, an Israeli drone dropped a bomb near a group of civilians gathered by a cemetery in the town of Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Younis. No injuries were reported.

Israel has killed nearly 51,400 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in Gaza since October 2023.
