In a significant development, the Israeli army has issued a mass evacuation order for Palestinians residing in eastern areas of Khan Younis, Gaza’s second-largest city. This directive signals the likelihood of an imminent ground assault by Israeli troops. Here are the details:
Evacuation Order
- Scope: The evacuation order specifically targets the eastern half of Khan Younis.
- Humanitarian Zone: Palestinians are urgently instructed to leave their homes and head to an unspecified “humanitarian zone.” However, the exact location of this zone remains undisclosed.
- Historical Context: Khan Younis has been a site of intense conflict during previous Israeli offensives, and the evacuation order raises concerns about the safety and well-being of civilians in the area.
The situation remains tense, and both sides closely monitor developments in the region.
