Israel orders the evacuation of Gaza's second largest city in the south after razing the north.
Netanyahu admits he has ordered "basic amounts" of humanitarian aid to enter Gaza due to international pressure.
BarcelonaThe Israeli army ordered Palestinians in Khan Younis, Gaza's second largest city in the south of the Strip, to flee immediately this afternoon, threatening them with an "unprecedented attack." The evacuation order, released in Arabic by military spokesman Avichay Adraee on X, orders civilians to move to the Al-Mawasi camp, near the beach. During the 19 months of genocidal operations in the Strip, the Israeli authorities have continuously issued these evacuation orders, which have also failed to save the Palestinians who obeyed them from the bombs, because the areas to which they are forced to move are also systematically attacked.
In one hour, the air force has bombed the area up to 30 times, and, according to the army, there have been 160 bombings throughout the Strip in the last 24 hours. Since dawn, Israel has killed 32 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian health officials. The Indonesian Hospital in the north and the Nasser Hospital in the south have been under Israeli attack since Sunday.
"From that moment on, the Khan Younis region will be considered a dangerous combat zone," the message adds. The order comes the day after the army ordered the evacuation of central Gaza. These evacuation orders are issued based on a grid that divides the territory into randomly drawn numbered quadrants by the army and are meaningless to Palestinians, so in many cases they do not know whether they are affected by the orders or not.
The Al Nasser Salah Brigades in the Din, the military branch of the Popular Resistance Committees, has confirmed the death of one of its leaders, Ahmed Sarhan, in one of the airstrikes on Khan Younis. The group claims that Israeli special forces disguised in women's clothing tried to infiltrate a covert operation and detained his wife and a child.
Mercenaries to distribute humanitarian aid
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu announced on Sunday that Israel will allow the entry of a "basic" amount of humanitarian aid to Gaza, after eleven weeks of preventing access to food, medicine, drinking water and fuel, with an absolute blockade, which has caused a humanitarian disasterThis is the other side of the policy of exterminating the Palestinians. Faced with criticism from his far-right government partners, who oppose opening the way to humanitarian aid, Netanyahu admitted that he did so under international pressure. "We were approaching a red line where international support for Israel was damaged by news of famine in the Strip," the prime minister said in a video. Netanyahu is indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court, which has issued an arrest warrant for him.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said: "Now we conquer, cleanse, and stay [in Gaza], until Hamas is destroyed. Along the way, what remains of Gaza will be razed, simply because all there is is one big terrorist city."
