Israeli military has ordered areas of Khan Younis cleared while at least 14 people killed in strikes in northern Gaza.
Israel has continued to pound Gaza, killing dozens and issuing new evacuation orders.
The Israeli military launched strikes overnight that killed at least 14 people in the north of the enclave, according to reports on Tuesday. Meanwhile, new evacuation orders were issued, calling on people to leave areas in the southern city of Khan Younis.
Medics reported that eight people were killed in a series of overnight strikes in Beit Lahiya, while four others were killed in Gaza City. A further two people were killed in attacks in Jabalia, the largest of Gaza’s eight historic refugee camps in the northern part of the Strip.
Later, the Israeli army ordered residents in the districts of Khan Younis to flee, prompting a westward exodus in the early morning hours.
“For your own safety, you must evacuate the area immediately and move to the humanitarian zone,” the army said a statement on X, citing rocket launches by Palestinian groups.
