Palestinian and UN officials say there are no safe areas in the enclave.
CAIRO – Israel expanded evacuation orders in Khan Younis in southern Gaza overnight, forcing tens of thousands of Palestinians to leave in the dark as explosions from tank shelling reverberated around them.
The announcement was posted on social media platform X and in text and audio messages to residents’ phones: “For your own safety, you must evacuate immediately to the newly created humanitarian zone. The area you are in is considered a dangerous combat zone.” The Israeli army said it struck around 30 Hamas military targets in the previous 24 hours, including military structures, anti-tank missile launch posts and weapons storage facilities.
Lines of smoke rose from areas where Israeli planes carried attacks in the eastern and western parts of the city. Residents said two multi-floor buildings were bombed.
