Israeli army carries out demolitions in Gaza

Al Jazeera’s correspondent in the Gaza Strip reports that the army has carried out a demolition operation within the so-called yellow line, in the southeast area of Khan Younis.

The yellow line demarcates areas of the Strip still under Israeli army control.

The army continues to demolish buildings inside its area of control, further exacerbating Gaza’s displacement crisis, with tens of thousands living in tents with no homes to return to.
