At least 14 Palestinians, including a civil defense officer, were killed on Sunday in an Israeli airstrike on a college building west of Khan Younis, the southern Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian sources.
Israeli aircraft fired at least one missile at the building housing displaced persons in the al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis, according to eyewitnesses.
Medics told Xinhua that all of the recovered bodies, as well as the wounded, were transferred to hospitals.
The airstrike killed Hani al-Dabour, a civil defense officer, and injured several crew members, the authority said in a statement, calling on the international community to assume their responsibilities to stop “Israeli crimes and provide full protection for our working crews.”
