Israeli airstrikes have resulted in the tragic deaths of at least 16 Palestinians in the eastern areas of Khan Younis, Gaza. This recent attack, coming swiftly after Israel issued new evacuation orders for some neighbourhoods, underscores the urgent need for attention and action in response to what it claimed were renewed attacks from those zones.
In an effort to protect civilians, the Israeli military announced the adjustment of the borders of a humanitarian zone in Al-Mawasi to keep the civilian population away from areas of combat. However, Palestinian health officials reported a devastating toll, with at least 16 Palestinians killed in Israeli tank shelling in Bani Suhaila town, east of Khan Younis, and the area also being bombarded by air.
The military stated that the new evacuation orders were prompted by renewed Palestinian attacks, including rockets launched from the targeted areas in eastern Khan Younis. These attacks were reportedly aimed at civilian areas, prompting the Israeli military to take action. Despite this, health institutions were reportedly not included in the evacuation orders, according to the Palestinians.

This recent escalation only serves to compound the growing concerns expressed by Palestinians, the United Nations, and international relief agencies. Their stark assessment is that there is no longer a single safe place in Gaza, a situation that demands immediate attention and action.
