DUBAI, November 12. /TASS/. At least 11 people have been killed and several others wounded as a result of an Israeli Air Force airstrike on the Al-Mawasi district near the city of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, Qatari television channel Al Jazeera reported.
According to the report, Israeli warplanes struck an Internet cafe and tents housing Palestinian refugees.
The situation in the Middle East deteriorated sharply after militants of the radical Palestinian movement Hamas infiltrated into Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip on October 7 last year, killing residents of border settlements and taking hostages. In response, Israel launched a military operation in the Gaza Strip with the aim of destroying the military and political structure of Hamas and freeing all the abductees.
