Israeli military bombardment killed at least 39 people in Gaza as it orders people to leave Khan Younis.
Israeli tank shelling and air strikes killed at least 39 Palestinians near Khan Younis after issuing new orders for people to leave some neighbourhoods in the area.
The Israeli army justified yet another instance of forced displacement of Palestinians on Monday due to what they said were renewed attacks from those areas.
To facilitate evacuations, the military said, it was adjusting the boundaries of a humanitarian zone in al-Mawasi west of Khan Younis to keep the civilian population away from areas of combat with Hamas-led Palestinian fighters.
The Palestinians, the United Nations and international relief agencies have said there is no safe place left in Gaza. Earlier in July, dozens of Palestinians were killed in separate Israeli attacks in the humanitarian-designated al-Mawasi area.
Health officials at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis urged residents to donate blood because of the large number of casualties being rushed into the medical centre.
