"Escalating Violence in Khan Younis Sparks International Concern"

Israeli forces deepen their ground offensive "to the west" of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries, with reports of heavy fighting near hospitals. The Palestine Red Crescent Society warns of an "extremely dangerous" situation, while the World Health Organization expresses deep concern. The Israel Defense Forces allege that Hamas embeds itself in civilian areas, including hospitals and schools. Civilians flee the area, seeking relative safety, as a U.S. doctor describes a "horrible day" with a mass exodus of people.
