Israeli Airstrike Hits Gaza Suburb, Casualties Reported
Dramatic video showed the moment an Israeli airstrike hit a house in Sheikh Radwan, a Gaza City suburb. The strike killed one Palestinian and wounded several others, according to Palestinian medics.
The cameraman who filmed the video said that the Israeli army has notified residents of a possible strike in the area.
The Israeli army said it had struck around 30 Hamas military targets in the previous 24 hours, including military structures, anti-tank missile launch posts, and weapons storage facilities.
Israel expanded evacuation orders in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip overnight, forcing tens of thousands of Palestinian residents and displaced families to leave in the dark as explosions from tank shelling reverberated around them.
Tens of thousands have been forced to flee areas of Gaza's Khan Younis after Israeli authorities expanded evacuation orders overnight.
The Israeli military said it was attacking militants from the Hamas group who were using the areas to stage attacks and fire rockets.
An announcement on X and sent to residents' phones said they should evacuate immediately "for your own safety" to a newly created humanitarian zone.
But Palestinian and U.N. officials say there are no safe areas in the enclave.
Gazans also complain they've been forced to move multiple times.
In Khan Younis, the evacuation order covered districts in the center, east and west.
That makes it one of the largest such orders in the 10-month old conflict, and comes just two days after tanks returned to the east of the city.
The evacuation order also follows the killing of at least 90 people - according to Gaza's civil defense service - in an Israeli airstrike on a school where displaced Palestinians were sheltering.
The Israeli military said it had struck a Hamas and Islamic Jihad command post, killing 19.
The two groups rejected that claim which they said was being used as a pretext.
