Gazan channels report 3-4 explosive drone strikes on the roof of the former Asda'a prison in northern Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip, about an hour ago. No casualties were reported.
Palestinian channels report that three to four explosive drones struck the roof of the former Asda'a prison in northern Khan Yunis about an hour ago (before 19:43 Jerusalem). No casualties were reported. The event appears to be a second wave of drone strikes on the same site earlier this evening: as The Zioneer reported at 18:44, a first wave of multiple explosive drones hit the same rooftop structure. This report adds a further 3-4 drone impacts, for a cumulative picture of sustained drone activity targeting the former prison site. The source remains a single Palestinian channel (Abu Ali Express relaying Gazan reports); the IDF has not commented on either round of strikes. Earlier today, at 17:08 Jerusalem, a sequence of reports began: The Zioneer first noted a drone strike on a specific room of the former prison, said by Gaza reports to serve Hamas for various activities. Later footage showed a drone detonating on the roof, with local reports claiming the building had been struck four times. By 17:13 Jerusalem, additional airstrike activity in Khan Yunis was noted by a separate local source. This sustained targeting of the former prison site has been reported over the span of roughly two and a half hours. Attribution remains unconfirmed; no party has claimed the drones. The building had previously been described as a Hamas headquarters in western Khan Yunis, a detail repeated across multiple reports as The Zioneer noted at 18:44. What remains open tonight: the exact number of drone impacts across both waves is not independently verified, the affiliation of the drones is unstated, and there has been no IDF or Hamas comment on the nature of this sustained activity at the site.
