Israeli army issues forced displacement order for Gaza’s Khan Younis

Israeli military has issued forced displacement order for Khan Younis, Gaza’s second-largest city, as its offensive escalates.

Israel carried out at least 30 air strikes within an hour in the area, killing more than 60 Palestinians across Gaza since dawn. Aljazeera reported.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says it will allow a limited amount of aid into Gaza, but it’s not clear when the supplies will enter the enclave.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 53,339 Palestinians and wounded 121,034, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

The Government Media Office updated the death toll to more than 61,700, saying thousands of people missing under the rubble are presumed dead. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023, and more than 200 were taken captive.
