以色列空军24日夜至25日清晨用导弹袭击了加沙地带南部巴勒斯坦城镇汗尤尼斯，造成16人死亡，至少60多人受伤。另有2名以色列士兵受重伤。新华社报道如下：Medics at Nasser Hospital in the city of Khan Younis said that the 11 Palestinian bodies reached to the hospital torn-off limbs and the 60 wounded are between serious and moderate conditions. They said that three Palestinians were killed in the early Israeli strike on a group of Palestinians in Baten al Semen area Sunday night while four others were killed shortly after the early Monday air strike.

Air strike表示“对地面或海上目标的空中袭击”，strike除了“罢工，殴打”等含义外，还表示“袭击，空袭”。例如：The Israeli army said the air strike targeted four Palestinians who were planting a bomb and all four were hit. （以色列军方表示此次空袭的目标是四名正在安装炸弹的巴基斯坦人，四人全部被击中。）
