Israeli strikes have left scores dead and hundreds wounded in the Gaza Strip, as tensions continue to escalate in the region. The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza reported that at least 70 people were killed and over 200 others were injured in an Israeli operation in the city of Khan Yunis. This comes after Israel issued a warning that its forces would be “forcefully operating” in the area.
Thousands of Palestinians fled southern areas of Gaza following the temporary evacuation order issued by the Israeli army for parts of Khan Yunis, including the Al-Mawasi humanitarian zone. The situation remains volatile, with both sides engaging in violence and retaliation.
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has sparked international concern, with world leaders calling for an immediate ceasefire and a return to negotiations. The United Nations has also expressed alarm at the escalating violence and the impact it is having on the civilian population in Gaza.
As the situation continues to unfold, it is crucial for all parties to prioritize the safety and well-being of civilians and work towards a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
