The Israeli military has issued evacuation orders to residents of several towns and villages in eastern Khan Younis, Gaza, preceding the re-entry of tanks into areas vacated weeks earlier. This move came amidst escalating violence that resulted in the deaths of eight Palestinians and left dozens injured in Khan Younis and Rafah. According to health officials, Israeli forces conducted bombardments in these southern Gaza locations, prompting thousands to flee their homes amid intense airstrikes and tank fire.
Residents who had not evacuated faced harrowing conditions overnight, with bombings striking Karara, Abassan, and other areas named in the evacuation orders. Many questioned where they could seek refuge, expressing frustration over repeated displacements due to ongoing conflict.
The Israeli military justified its actions, stating they targeted areas from which rockets had been launched into Israel earlier, including weapon storage facilities and operational centers. It emphasized measures taken to minimize civilian casualties, citing the issuance of evacuation warnings, while accusing Hamas of exploiting civilian infrastructure and populations as shields—a claim denied by the Islamist group.

Meanwhile, Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for firing rockets in retaliation for what it described as Israeli aggression against Palestinians. The conflict, which began when Hamas fighters breached southern Israel, has escalated into a deadly exchange, with casualties reported on both sides. Israel's offensive has been extensive, causing significant destruction in Gaza, while Hamas and allied groups continue to resist Israeli military operations.
Amidst the violence, evacuation orders encompassed critical facilities like the European Gaza Hospital, necessitating the relocation of patients and families seeking shelter. Displaced residents headed towards designated humanitarian areas, though overcrowding and lack of adequate shelter posed additional challenges.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated that operations in Rafah, aimed at eliminating Hamas strongholds, were nearing conclusion. He asserted that while the primary objective was to cripple Hamas' military capabilities, Israel would maintain smaller-scale operations to prevent regrouping.
Efforts by Arab mediators, supported by the United States, to broker a ceasefire have faltered, with Hamas demanding a comprehensive resolution involving Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. In contrast, Israel insists on temporary pauses until Hamas is neutralized, underscoring the entrenched nature of the conflict despite international mediation efforts.
