Multiple airstrikes hit Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis overnight, killing more than 50 people in a second consecutive night of heavy bombing.

Numerous bodies were taken to the morgue in the city’s Nasser Hospital, some in pieces, with some body bags containing the remains of multiple people. The hospital’s morgue confirmed 54 people had been killed.


The dead included a journalist working for Qatari television network Al Araby TV, the network announced on social media, saying Hasan Samour had been killed along with 11 members of his family in one of the strikes in Khan Younis.


The Israeli military had no immediate comment on the strikes.

It was the second night of heavy bombing, after airstrikes Wednesday on northern and southern Gaza killed at least 70 people, including almost two dozen children.
