Trump urges Gaza 'freedom zone' as Israel strikes kill 60
The Independent
|May 16, 2025
Israeli military strikes killed at least 60 people in Gaza yesterday, Palestinian medics said, as Donald Trump continued his Middle East tour by repeating his promise to take over the area and make it a freedom zone”.
Most of the victims, including women and children, were killed in Khan Younis in southern Gaza in airstrikes that hit homes and tents.
The dead included local journalist Hassan Samour, who worked for the Hamas-run Aqsa radio station and was killed along with 11 family members when their home was struck, the medics said.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military, which has intensified its offensive in Gaza as it tries to eradicate Hamas in retaliation for the deadly attacks the Palestinian militant group carried out on Israel in 2023.
