Some Palestinians who returned to the streets of Khan Younis after Israeli troops withdrew from the city have found themselves surrounded by rubble and heavily damaged buildings, footage taken by a Gaza resident shows.
It was seen that there was a high concentration of military equipment in this area during the military’s incursion.
The southern Gaza city of Khan Younis was designated a safe zone by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in the early days of the war.
But as the Israeli army pushed south, the city came under sustained attack, with the IDF labeling it a Hamas stronghold.
Some of the Israeli military’s offensives took place at medical facilities sheltering displaced civilians and health workers. The IDF said they located Hamas militants in hospitals.
The military is “far from stopping” its operations in Gaza, its chief of staff said on Sunday, after the IDF said it had withdrawn its ground forces from Khan Younis after months of fierce fighting.
