Israeli strikes hit east of Khan Younis, in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood
The Israeli army continues to target locations inside the so-called yellow line in areas still under its control. It has carried out multiple air strikes – one east of Khan Younis in the south and the other in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood.
The situation is getting much more dire for families who live near this yellow line, including my own. We live a few metres away from the yellow line, and the situation is going from bad to worse as the Israeli military continues to demolish residential buildings and spread panic with attacks in those areas.
On top of this, winter conditions are adding extra suffering to the hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians who are still living in fear and in a deepening humanitarian crisis.
