Dozens of Palestinians have been killed, and thousands have fled after Israel launched a new ground assault targeting Hamas in the southern Gazan city of Khan Younis. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced the reduction of a “humanitarian zone,” ordering evacuations from eastern Khan Younis due to Hamas presence in the area. CNN reported that fleeing residents expressed anger not only at Israel but also at Hamas and other Arab states. The UN Human Rights Office criticized the evacuation order as “confusing,” saying it left civilians uncertain about where to go.
