At least 12 people were killed and over 40 were wounded in Israeli shelling of refugee tents in southern Gaza Strip, Palestinian Al-Aqsa TV channel reported, citing a medical source.
“Twelve people were killed and more than 40 were wounded when Israel shelled tents with displaced persons west of the city of Khan Yunis“, said the channel's source at the “Nasr“ medical complex in Khan Yunis.
On the night of March 18, the Israel Defense Forces resumed strikes on the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attacks were continuing because the Palestinian Hamas movement had refused to accept a US plan to extend the ceasefire and release the hostages.
