Hamas-run media and local Telegram channels report that Israeli naval forces are currently shelling terror targets in the city of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip. The report, circulated by analyst Yair Goldblatt via the 301 Arab World channel, has not been independently verified and no details on specific targets or casualties have been released.
Local Gaza sources, cited by analyst Yair Goldblatt via the 301 Arab World Telegram network, report that Israeli Navy vessels are conducting fire on terror targets in Khan Yunis. This is the first report in the current escalation cycle specifically naming Israeli naval assets rather than artillery or airstrikes in the area. The report is preliminary and single-sourced, with no independent confirmation from the IDF or other official channels.
As The Zioneer previously reported (BACKGROUND), the southern Gaza city has been a repeated focus of Israeli strikes, including artillery shelling on the eastern outskirts (00:06, Sunday Jun 14) and aerial strikes (Jun 6 and Jun 15). This new report, if verified, would indicate a continuation of IDF operational activity against Hamas infrastructure in the Khan Yunis sector. No reports of interceptions, casualties, or secondary explosions have surfaced, and the HFC has not issued population warnings.
