Khan Yunis – 29 November 2025: An Israeli drone strike on a school sheltering displaced people in southern Gaza killed two Palestinian children on Saturday, according to Nasser Hospital, the AP reported.

The strike killed two brothers, aged 8 and 11, in the town of Beni Suhaila in Khan Yunis, according to the hospital, which received their bodies.

Gaza’s health ministry said Saturday that Palestinian fatalities from the Israeli war since October 2023 have surpassed 70,100, with nearly 171,000 people wounded.

Israeli forces have breached last month’s ceasefire with Hamas on an almost daily basis, with airstrikes, shelling and other operations killing more than 350 Palestinians since the agreement, according to the ministry’s figures.
