Khan Younis is a city located in the southern Gaza Strip and serves as the capital of the Khan Younis Governorate. The city has been largely destroyed during the Gaza war, and it is currently split by the yellow line, with Hamas controlling the north and Israel controlling the south. [7]

As FTMQ News reported earlier, an Israeli attack destroyed a residential building in Gaza City one year after a United States brokered ceasefire was established. The latest strikes come amid growing tensions surrounding the Gaza ceasefire. [1][9]
