Israel says 'unprecedented attack' to hit Gaza's Khan Younis, orders evacuation | ABC NEWS
The Israel Defense Forces has issued an evacuation warning for southern Gaza, telling all residents in the area around the city of Khan Younis to leave. The IDF says it is preparing to launch an “unprecedented attack” against Hamas in the area. That means almost all of southern Gaza is now under evacuation warnings, with the IDF having already cleared the Palestinian population out of the city of Rafah. Palestinians around Khan Younis are being told to head west towards the coast. Yesterday, the Israeli military expanded its offensive, deploying troops and tanks further into Gaza.
