Families flee new ******** ******** in Gaza’s Khan Younis

******** tanks have returned to the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, forcing families to evacuate along congested roadways, as ************ fighters continue to ******* ******** troops from the ruins.

******** planes carried out strikes across the enclave on Friday, ******** at least 35 Palestinians, the Gaza health ministry said.

Thousands of people fled eastern Khan Younis in vehicles and on foot, belongings heaped on donkey carts and motorcycle rickshaws as they made their slow escape along congested roads.

With ******* and Lebanon braced for a possible escalation in fighting, leaders from the ******* States, Egypt and Qatar tried to revive efforts to halt the fighting in Gaza, scheduling a new round of talks for Thursday.

In recent weeks ******** forces which swept into nearly the entire Gaza Strip over more than ten months of war have been returning to the ruins of areas where they said they had defeated ****** fighters, while warning that they might regroup.

In the latest ********, the military dropped leaflets ordering residents and displaced people sheltering in eastern Khan Younis, Gaza’s main southern city, to evacuate from an area that has already seen repeated waves of fighting.

Families packed into buses and cars, many seeking shelter in Al-Mawasi, a sandy stretch of ground along the coast, though some expressed ***** over attacks there even though it is designated as a safe zone by ******** forces.

Later on Friday, an ******** air strike ******* six Palestinians in Al-Mawasi, medics said. Another strike on a house nearby ******* four people, including a girl, and wounded several others, they added.

The ******** military said troops hit dozens of ****** targets in Khan Younis and Rafah close to the Egyptian border, seizing arms depots, destroying infrastructure and ******** dozens of fighters armed with weapons including rocket propelled grenades.

The meeting called for Thursday to discuss a Gaza ceasefire and ******** release deal follows previous talks that have ******* to yield a ceasefire since a single week-long truce in November 2023.

*******’s prime minister’s office said a delegation would be sent to the talks but declined to give further details. A ****** official told Reuters the group was “studying” the new offer for talks, refusing to elaborate. The newly appointed overall leader of ******, Yahya Sinwar, is believed to run the battle, possibly from the tunnels of Gaza.

In a statement, the ****** armed wing vowed loyalty to Sinwar in a show of challenge to *******, which puts Sinwar on the top of its marked-for-****** officials.

Fears are growing of a possible broader conflict. Iran has vowed to retaliate after ******’s leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran and ******* ******* a top commander of Lebanese militant group Hezbollah in a strike on a Beirut suburb.

******* launched its ******** on Gaza aiming to wipe out ****** after the group’s fighters attacked ******** towns on October 7, ******** 1200 people and capturing more than 250 hostages according to ******** tallies.

Since then, ******* has ******* nearly 40,000 Palestinians in Gaza, according to figures from health officials in the enclave, who say thousands of others are feared ***** under the rubble.
