Gaza (National Times) At least 255 Palestinians were killed and around 300 wounded during the past nine days of “horrific massacre” carried out on the eastern outskirts of Gaza’s second-largest city by the Israeli forces.

According to the officials in Gaza, 31 homes were bombed by the Israeli forces. The army obstructed operations to reach dozens of wounded during the attack, it added.

“We condemn in the strongest terms the Israeli occupation’s horrific massacre against civilians and displaced persons in the east of the Khan Younis governorate,” the office said. It called on the international community to push Israel to stop “the crime of genocide” in Gaza.
