STORYLINE:
The Health Ministry in Gaza said at least 51 people were killed and 82 wounded in an operation in Khan Younis that began early Wednesday.

Records at the European Hospital show that seven women and 12 children, as young as 22 months old, were among those killed.

Another 23 people, including two children, were killed in separate strikes across Gaza, according to local hospitals.

The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Residents said Israel had carried out heavy airstrikes as its ground forces staged an incursion into three neighborhoods in Khan Younis.

Israel carried out a weeks-long offensive earlier this year in Khan Younis that left much of Gaza’s second largest city in ruins.

Over the course of the war, Israeli forces have repeatedly returned to areas of Gaza as militants have regrouped.

On October 7, Hamas-led militants killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took around 250 hostage.

Some 100 have not yet been released, around 65 of whom are believed to be alive.

Israel’s retaliatory offensive has killed over 41-thousand Palestinians, according to local health authorities, who do not say how many were fighters but say a little more than half were women and children.

The military says it has killed over 17-thousand militants, without providing evidence.
