Two Palestinian brothers, aged 8 and 11, were killed in an Israeli drone strike near Khan Younis on November 29, 2025, as military operations escalated across the Gaza Strip. The attack occurred in Bani Suheila town, close to the demarcation line established under previous ceasefire agreements, according to statements from Nasser Hospital.
Palestinian security sources report intensified land, air, and naval bombardments since Friday night, with strikes targeting northern Gaza's Beit Lahia, Gaza City's Shuja'iyya and Tuffah neighborhoods, and central Gaza's Bureij refugee camp. Additional airstrikes hit eastern Rafah and areas near Khan Younis.
Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem condemned the escalation as "continued aggression," urging international mediators to enforce ceasefire terms. The Israeli military has not publicly addressed the latest operations or civilian casualties.
This surge in violence follows months of fragile calm and raises concerns about renewed humanitarian crises in densely populated areas. Medical facilities report struggling to handle casualties amid damaged infrastructure and limited supplies.
