Gaza City: At least two people have been killed after an airstrike in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis.

Four people were also injured in the attack on Wednesday morning.

Hospital sources said the two people were crushed after the attack destroyed the house.

The Israeli army said residents were told to leave the house as it was being used to store weapons.

It belonged to Hassan Shaath, a local leader for
the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, who was not affected by the raid.
