The Israeli military today, under the cover air strikes, implemented an operation in the Gaza Strip city of Khan Younis. Israeli forces stormed the area, surrounded a house and kidnapped 7 civilians from the Kdeh family, claimed to be members of Palestinian resistance groups.

Eyewitnesses said that special Israeli army unit imposed a comprehensive siege on the area for more than three hours, terrifying and harassing local residents.

Local media stated that a special Israeli force sneaked into Khaza'a town, on the eastern side of Khan Younis, and kidnapped the civilians.

After the operation, the Israeli army realized that the kidnapped civilians were not part of any resistance group and released them.

In other news, Israel has continued its days-old bombardment of the Gaza Strip and there are no signs that this policy is nearing an end.
