PALESTINIAN CIVIL DEFENSE WORKER HEYSAM EL-HEMS SPEAKING TO REPORTERS (Arabic)GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE - MAY 17: An Israeli strike killed a Palestinian and injured several others, including a child, in Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis on Sunday, May 17. Civil Defense official Heysam el-Hems said the victim was directly targeted in the attack while on a road and was later transported to Nasser Hospital by medics. In a related development, local sources and eyewitnesses reported that several Israeli military vehicles advanced into Bani Suheila town east of Khan Younis at dawn on Sunday, amid gunfire and artillery shelling. The sources added that the vehicles pushed the concrete blocks marking the so-called “Yellow Line” dozens of meters westward in the Al-Raqab and Al-Fajm neighborhoods, effectively expanding the areas under Israeli military control. Eyewitnesses also said an Israeli military bulldozer demolished several homes in the area. According to the witnesses, the two areas have seen the displacement of several families toward central and western Khan Younis. The "Yellow Line" refers to the boundary to which Israeli forces withdrew inside Gaza as part of the second phase of a plan announced by US President Donald Trump to end the war in the enclave. The line separates areas under full Israeli military control from zones where Palestinians are allowed to be present. The Israeli army has killed more than 72,000 people, mostly women and children, and injured over 172,000 in a two-year war on the Gaza Strip since October 2023. Despite a ceasefire that took effect on Oct. 10, 2025, the Israeli army has continued its attacks, killing over 870 people and injuring more than 2,540 others, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
