KHAN YUNIS, Gaza Strip — A number of Gaza citizens, including youths and children, went to the Waqt al-Marah cafe on the Khan Yunis shore in the southern Gaza Strip to escape from the summer heat and power outages in their homes and to avoid the horrors of the Israeli attacks. Then, a missile fired by an Israeli fighter jet turned the scene in a pile of body parts.
According to Ashraf al-Qadra, a spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, nine civilians, including a child, were killed immediately after the rest area of the cafe was bombed, and others were critically wounded in the attack. The bodies of those killed and the injured were taken to the government-run Nasser Hospital.
