Israeli attacks have killed dozens of Palestinians across Gaza overnight, including six members of a single family.
The strikes targeted a displacement camp that Israel had previously designated as a “humanitarian” zone, as well as several tents housing displaced people in Khan Younis. Rescue teams rushed to the scene following the attack.
At least 1,163 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel resumed large-scale strikes on March 18.
According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, this figure includes nearly 100 people killed in the past 24 hours. Additionally, three bodies of individuals killed in earlier strikes were recovered during the same period, bringing the overall death toll to 50,423 since the war began on October 7, 2023.
An Israeli army spokesperson ordered residents of the Shujayea area and the neighborhoods of al-Jadida, al-Turkman, Tasbeeh, and eastern Zeitoun to leave their homes.
“The Israeli army is operating with great force in your areas to destroy the terrorist infrastructure,” Avichay Adraee said on X. “You must evacuate these areas immediately and move to the known shelters in western Gaza City,” he added.
It remains unclear what the “known shelters” refer to. During previous forced evacuation orders, Adraee had called on Palestinians to move to areas designated as “safe zones,” which were later attacked by the Israeli army.
In March, the United Nations’ humanitarian agency reported that 142,000 people have been displaced since Israel renewed its war on Gaza on March 18, breaking a fragile January ceasefire.
