"Israeli Forces Advance into Khan Younis in Southern Gaza"

Israeli troops have advanced into Gaza's southern city of Khan Younis, engaging in close-quarter combat with Palestinian fighters from Hamas. Qatar facilitated the delivery of medicines and humanitarian aid to Gaza, where over 24,600 people have been killed since Israel's military campaign began. Civilians are fleeing the city, with reports of heavy bombing near a hospital and a strike on a house in Rafah that killed 16 people, including children. The UN has described the conditions for the displaced population in Gaza as inhumane, while Israel's president defended the military's actions, stating that they had no choice but to defend themselves against entrenched terror infrastructure.
