At least five Palestinians were killed on Wednesday in an Israeli airstrike on a tent sheltering displaced people in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, according to Gaza's Civil Defense.



Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Civil Defense, said the airstrike targeted the tent in the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis, killing all five people inside. The bodies were taken to the nearby Kuwaiti Field Hospital.



The Israeli military has not commented on the attack.



Israel's Channel 12 reported that the Israeli Air Force had begun strikes across the Gaza Strip in response to what it described as a breach of the ceasefire agreement.
