The Israeli military said it had struck a Hamas command centre.
On Aug 8, the agency said Israeli strikes had hit two schools in Gaza City, killing more than 18 people.
Israel’s army said on Aug 10 it had “precisely struck Hamas terrorists operating within a Hamas command and control centre embedded in the Al-Taba’een school”. During 10 months of war across the Gaza Strip, the military has found itself returning to some areas to fight the militants again. After the military issued an evacuation order for parts of Khan Yunis, AFPTV images showed a crowd of people flowing through dusty, damaged streets on foot or on donkeys and motorcycle carts piled with belongings.By Aug 9, the United Nations humanitarian office OCHA estimated that “at least 60,000 Palestinians may have moved towards western Khan Yunis in the past 72 hours”, said UN spokeswoman Florencia Soto Nino.US, Qatari and Egyptian mediators have for months tried to secure a second one.
Palestinian militants seized 251 hostages, 111 of whom are still held in Gaza, including 39 the Israeli military says are dead. The killing last week of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh during a visit to Tehran had sidelined truce talks. Iran and Hamas blamed Israel, which has not directly commented.
