GAZA, July 21 (Xinhua) — At least 14 Palestinians, including a civil defense worker, were killed Sunday in an Israeli airstrike on a college building west of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, Palestinian sources said.

Israeli warplanes fired at least one missile at a building housing displaced people in the al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis, witnesses said.

Doctors told Xinhua that all the bodies found, as well as the wounded, were taken to hospitals.

The airstrike killed civil defense officer Hani al-Dabour and wounded several members of his team, according to a local government statement. The government called on the international community to fulfill its obligations to “stop Israel’s crimes and ensure full protection for the work crews.”

In a statement on Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that the paratroopers' brigade, under the command of the 36th Division, had completed its mission in the Khan Yunis area of the Gaza Strip.

"During the operation, the troops eliminated the terrorists in hand-to-hand combat and in cooperation with the Israeli Air Force. They destroyed the terrorists' infrastructure, including military installations, weapons and explosives depots," the statement said.

Israel resumed military operations in the Gaza Strip on March 18. Since then, at least 8,066 Palestinians have been killed and 28,939 wounded. The total number of deaths since October 2023 has reached 58,895, with 140,980 injured, the enclave's health authorities said on Sunday. –0–
