Khan Yunis: Eight Palestinians were martyred and dozens injured Tuesday in airstrikes launched by the Israeli occupation forces on Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.

According to Qatar News Agency, medical sources reported that six citizens were martyred and nearly 16 others were injured as a result of gunfire and a series of violent airstrikes launched by the occupation forces around and inside the European Hospital in the Al Fakhari neighborhood, east of Khan Yunis.

A Palestinian man and his wife were martyred in another airstrike that targeted the roof of a family home in the same town. Several other injuries were also reported as a result of Israeli warplanes bombing a group of citizens near the Al Nojoum Hall in the Al Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.

The Israeli occupation resumed its aggression on the Gaza Strip on March 18, following a two-month pause under a ceasefire agreement that went into effect on January 19. However, the occupation forces violated the terms of the ceasefire throughout the two months, continuing their bombing of various areas in the Gaza Strip, causing casualties and injuries.

It also refused to implement the humanitarian protocol, and tightened its stifling blockade on the Strip, which is experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian tragedy.
