Israeli airstrikes in central and southern Gaza killed at least two Palestinians and injured several others on May 10, 2024 [1].
These attacks occur as part of an ongoing military operation against Hamas, highlighting the continued volatility in areas where civilians have sought refuge.
The raids targeted multiple locations, including the Al-Amal neighborhood in Khan Younis, located in the south of the Gaza Strip [1]. While one report states two people died in these specific strikes [1], other sources provide higher figures. One report cited five deaths in recent raids [2], while another indicated 10 people were killed across central and northern Gaza [2].
Casualty figures in the region remain difficult to verify due to the intensity of the conflict. However, the cumulative toll of the war has risen sharply since Oct. 7, 2023. Reports indicate that 72,763 people have died and 172,664 have been injured since the conflict began [2].
The strikes in Al-Amal and central Gaza are part of a broader pattern of Israeli military activity aimed at dismantling Hamas infrastructure. These operations frequently result in civilian casualties and the destruction of urban neighborhoods, a cycle that has persisted for months.
Medical teams and local authorities continue to respond to the aftermath of the raids, though access to certain areas remains limited by ongoing military presence.

The variance in casualty reports—ranging from two to 10 deaths—underscores the difficulty of real-time verification in active war zones. The continued targeting of southern neighborhoods like Al-Amal suggests that the Israeli military operation is expanding or returning to areas previously considered stabilized, contributing to the rising overall death toll in the territory.
