Israel expands evacuation orders in Khan Yunis and blows up residential buildings in Rafah

The Israeli occupation forces expanded forced evacuation orders in areas of Khan Yunis city, south of the Gaza Strip, while they blew up a number of homes west of Rafah city, south of the Strip.


The occupation army demanded that citizens and displaced persons in the Al-Jalaa neighborhood, known as Hamad City, north of Khan Yunis, evacuate immediately. It also renewed its demand for citizens in new neighborhoods in the center of Khan Yunis to evacuate by force. This time, the order was given at one o'clock in the morning.


At the same time, the occupation's aircraft and artillery continued to bombard the towns and neighborhoods of Khan Yunis.


The number of displaced people from eastern and central Khan Yunis exceeded 70,000 citizens. The occupation aircraft bombed the areas of Al-Qarara, Al-Jalaa, Khuza'a, Bani Suhaila and Abraj Hamad, which led to the complete destruction of large areas.


This is the third time in about a week that the occupation forces have expanded evacuation orders in the city of Khan Yunis, where a military operation was announced on Friday.


Since October 7, 2023, the occupation forces have carried out several devastating attacks on the city of Khan Yunis, including areas that they previously claimed were "safe", leaving hundreds of martyrs and wounded and widespread destruction.


In the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation forces carried out demolition operations on residential buildings in the western neighborhoods of the city. Military vehicles accompanied by bulldozers also carried out extensive demolition operations inside the Al-Brahma neighborhood west of Rafah.


On Saturday morning, the Israeli occupation forces committed a new massacre in the "Al-Tabi'in" school, which houses displaced people in the Al-Daraj neighborhood in Gaza City, resulting in the martyrdom of more than 100 citizens and the injury of hundreds.


The Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the Gaza Strip by land, sea and air since October 7, 2023, which resulted in the martyrdom of 39,790 citizens and the injury of 91,702 others, while thousands of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them.
