Israeli army orders eastern Khan Younis residents to evacuate
GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – The Israeli army has yet again ordered Palestinians living in the eastern neighborhoods of Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, to evacuate immediately, despite earlier claims that the area was a humanitarian safe zone.
Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee claimed in a statement that “the presence of multiple military operations and rocket fire from the eastern part of the humanitarian zone has made staying there dangerous.”
“Therefore, the army calls on residents who remain in the eastern neighborhoods of Khan Younis to evacuate immediately to the newly designated humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi,” he added.
Two weeks ago, the Israeli army committed a massacre in Al-Mawasi, which it claimed was safe, resulting in the deaths of 90 Palestinians and the injuries of 300 in a series of airstrikes targeting tents and displacement shelters.
The ongoing brutal Israeli offensive has, killed more than 39,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, while over 89,700 have been injured, according to local health authorities.
Over nine months into the Israeli onslaught, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water, and medicine.
