Rockets target Israeli forces in northern Gaza, Palestinian snipers hit in south: Monitors

Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) fighters attacked Israeli forces operating in neighbourhoods to the south of Gaza City with rocket-propelled grenades and mortars, and fired rockets at troops deployed on the Netzarim Corridor further to the south, war monitors report.

In southern Gaza’s Rafah city, Hamas fired a “Red Arrow” guided missile at an Israeli armoured vehicle on Monday, according to US-based defence think tanks the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) and the Critical Threats Project (CTP).

A combined Hamas-PIJ sniper attack also targeted an Israeli soldier in eastern Khan Younis in the south of the Gaza Strip and another joint Hamas-PIJ sniper team fired on an Israeli soldier in the Bani Suheila area of the city, according to the latest ISW-CTP battlefield report.


Palestinians return to areas east of Khan Younis after Israeli withdrawal

Palestinian journalists have shared videos on Instagram showing displaced Palestinians returning on foot to areas east of Khan Younis following the withdrawal of Israeli forces.

Last week, the Israeli military issued an evacuation order for eastern parts of Khan Younis and began a new ground invasion months after launching an offensive there.

The invasion displaced at least 180,000 Palestinians in the first four days, with many having to move without their belongings, according to the United Nations.

A statement on Telegram says about 300 people have been wounded with 31 missing in the nine-day “horrific massacre” carried out on the eastern outskirts of Gaza’s second-largest city.

Thirty-one homes were bombed by the Israeli military while their residents were inside, the office said, adding 320 homes and residential buildings were struck in total. The army obstructed operations to reach dozens of wounded during the attack, it said.

“We condemn in the strongest terms the Israeli occupation’s horrific massacre against civilians and displaced persons in the east of the Khan Younis governorate,” the office said.

It called on the international community to push Israel to stop “the crime of genocide” in Gaza.
