New Israeli military attack in Khan Younis kills at least 11

The Israeli military has bombed the al-Katiba area of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, killing at least 11 people. The victims include four women and four children killed when their home was shelled in the city.

Earlier, we reported that the Israeli military had also shelled a house belonging to the Kalakh family in the al-Amal neighbourhood of the city, also killing at least 11 people and injuring 15 more, according to Wafa.

The attack has pushed the total number of people killed by Israel across Gaza since dawn this morning to at least 37. Other incidents include:

  • One person was killed and three injured after Israeli forces opened fire on tents sheltering displaced Palestinians on Street 5 in Khan Younis.
  • One person was killed after an Israeli fighter jet bombed a group of people in the Abu Areef area, east of Deir el-Balah, in central Gaza.
  • Three others were killed and more wounded after another group of Palestinians was bombed in Abu Areef.
  • Three people were killed and several wounded after Israeli forces bombed a residential apartment in Ain Jalut in the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza.

Israel’s latest evacuation orders for the central city of Deir el-Balah have pushed more than 100,000 people out in less than two days, according to the Deir el-Balah municipality.

The Israeli military’s renewed offensive in the area has also forced 20 shelters out of service, the municipality said. The newly displaced people are “exhausted” as they search for a place to stay to the west near al-Mawasi, according to Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abou Azzoum.

Israel tells even more central Gaza neighbourhoods to evacuate

Israel’s military has ordered even more neighbourhoods in central Gaza to evacuate, telling their residents to move to an ever-shrinking “humanitarian zone” in the west.

The order, announced by Israel’s Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee, applies to four blocks in the areas of eastern Deir el-Balah and Maghazi. “For your own safety, evacuate the areas immediately and move to the humanitarian zone,” Adraee wrote in a post on X.

The order marks the third time Israel has issued an evacuation call in as many days, with 100,000 people displaced from Deir el-Balah alone in the last two days.
