Jul 22, 2024, 11:13 AM

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have launched a series of intense air and ground attacks on Khan Yunis, Gaza. The Israeli Air Force is relentlessly targeting Hamas cells, with multiple airstrikes documented throughout the day. Residents of the eastern districts of Khan Yunis are evacuating under fire following the IDF's announcement of a ground invasion. The strikes come after calls by the IDF for civilians to evacuate eastern areas of the city. Israeli intelligence believes that Yahya Sinwar, a senior Hamas leader, is likely hiding in Khan Yunis. Several impacts have occurred within a large refuge encampment. The airstrikes are described as massive, aiming to pound Hamas into non-existence.
