Iran Press/West Asia: According to the ministry, the latest Zionist "crime" has left more than 100 Palestinians dead or injured. The injured have been transported to medical facilities in the region, including Nasser Hospital, to receive treatment.
The attack marks a grim escalation in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinian factions in Gaza.
Eyewitness accounts and Iran Press video footage from the scene depict a chaotic and bloody scene, with Palestinian civilians caught in the crossfire.
"It was a massacre, pure and simple," said Mahmoud Zahar, a senior Hamas official. "Women, children, innocent people - they showed no mercy."
The Israeli military has not yet commented on the incident, but Palestinian authorities have condemned the attack as a "Zionist crime" against the civilian population of Khan Yunis.
This latest violence comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with both sides accusing the other of provoking the conflict.
Humanitarian organizations have warned of a deepening crisis in Gaza, with essential services and infrastructure under strain.
As the death toll continues to rise, calls for an immediate ceasefire and independent investigation into the Khan Yunis attack are growing louder. The international community has urged restraint and a return to the negotiating table to find a peaceful resolution to the decades-old conflict.
