Israel Tells Gazans to Temporarily Vacate Southern Khan Younis Areas

MIDDLE EAST - JERUSALEM. The Israeli military has issued a directive to Palestinians, urging them to temporarily vacate the southern neighborhoods of Gaza's Khan Younis region to facilitate intense military operations. The military's statement on Saturday advised residents to relocate to a designated humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi.

The ongoing conflict, now extending beyond nine months since Israel's invasion of Gaza following the October 7 attack, highlights the challenges faced by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) in neutralizing fighters from militant Islamist groups amidst persistent resistance.
