Israel’s war on Gaza live: 10 killed in Israeli bombing of Khan Younis home

At least 10 people were killed and several wounded in an overnight Israeli strike on a home in the Abasan al-Kabira area of eastern Khan Younis.

Israel’s military said it is investigating a statement by Hamas’s armed wing announcing the death of an Israeli captive in Gaza and the wounding of two others in a separate incident.

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has condemned Ben Gvir for joining Israeli far-right activists at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.

In a post on X, Lapid said Ben-Gvir was endangering the safety of Israeli citizens and security forces with his Al-Aqsa Mosque “campaign”.

“This group of irresponsible extremists in the government is actively trying to drag Israel into a full-scale regional war,” Lapid said. “These people are unfit to govern a country.”
