Dozens of Palestinians killed in Israeli overnight attack on Khan Younis

The health ministry in Gaza said 105 people were killed overnight from Thursday to Friday, as Israeli raids and shelling of Khan Younis continued.

The southern Gaza's main city has recently become the epicenter of relentless strikes and intense fighting between Palestinian resistance combatants and Israeli forces.

One of the Israeli strikes targeted a residential building near the European Hospital in Khan Younis overnight, officials said.

Nearly four months of the Israeli invasion have rendered Gaza "uninhabitable", according to the UN, while an Israeli siege has led to dire shortages of food, water, fuel and medicines.

The humanitarian crisis, coupled with soaring civilian casualties, has spurred increasing international calls for a ceasefire.

Qatar said Thursday that a truce proposal made in Paris "has been approved by the Israeli side and now we have an initial positive confirmation from the Hamas side".

A source close to Hamas, however, was quoted as saying that there was no agreement on the framework of the agreement yet.

"The factions have important observations and the Qatari statement is rushed and not true," AFP quoted the unnamed source as saying.

Israel's minister of military affairs Yoav Gallant said Friday the regime's forces will continue their Gaza invasion to Rafah, despite the huge numbers of Palestinian civilians there who have nowhere else to go.

"We will continue until the end, there is no other way," he said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

More than 27,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 7 as Israel intensifies its strikes on the besieged strip.
