Palestinians forced to flee Khan Younis again as Israeli troop launch another assault on the destroyed city
Palestinians flee the Khan Younis area of the Gaza Strip, August 8, 2024

ISRAELI troops launched a new assault into the southern Gaza City of Khan Younis today, supposedly targeting Hamas fighters that the military claims still operate there despite repeated offensives.

Israeli evacuation orders triggered yet another exodus of Palestinians from the heavily destroyed eastern districts of Khan Younis, where many had just returned less than two weeks ago, after the Israeli military’s last incursion into the city in July.

Thousands fled on Thursday, carrying essentials like small gas cylinders, mattresses, tents, backpacks and blankets.
