Death toll after latest attack on Khan Younis rises to 6

The number of people killed following two Israeli strikes on Khan Younis has risen to six, with a child among the dead.

With attacks ongoing, medical sources told Al Jazeera that 15 bodies have so far arrived at Nasser Hospital in southern Khan Younis since dawn.

The Israeli military issued new evacuation orders on Saturday for Khan Younis that further expand into an area where displaced Palestinians have been forced to shelter. The latest order comes a week after the army began a new ground invasion, months after launching an offensive there.

The Khan Younis assault displaced at least 180,000 Palestinians in the first days since it began.

Israel forces advance in south Gaza, displacing more people

Israel’s army sent tanks deeper into southern Gaza as health officials say attacks killed 66 Palestinians across the besieged enclave in the past 24 hours.

Armoured vehicles pushed into the three towns of al-Karara, al-Zanna, and Bani Suheila in eastern Khan Younis city. Medics said at least nine Palestinians were killed by Israeli military strikes in those areas.

Residents said fierce fighting could be heard. The new incursions caused thousands more Palestinians to flee their homes and head to overcrowded al-Mawasi to the west and central Deir el-Balah.

Meanwhile in Rafah, near the border with Egypt, Israeli forces advanced into the northern parts of the besieged city.

Tanks also shelled areas in central Gaza including the Bureij and Nuseirat refugee camps and Juhor ad-Dik village.

The armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group says it targeted an Israeli military crane and areas around it with heavy mortar fire in the east of the war-battered city.

“[A] helicopter landed in the area to evacuate the dead and wounded soldiers after the crane and its surroundings burned,” a statement on Telegram said, without giving precise figures.

The group said it also bombarded Israeli soldiers and vehicles that penetrated the Bani Suheila cemetery in eastern Khan Younis.
