The IDF confirms carrying out a wave of airstrikes in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis overnight, after ordering civilians to leave the area.

According to the military, the strikes targeted sites in an area from which a barrage of 20 rockets was fired at southern Israeli towns yesterday.

The sites included a weapons depot, an apartment used by terror operatives, and other infrastructure, the IDF says.

Before the strikes, the IDF says, it allowed civilians to evacuate the area. It had called on Palestinians in eastern Khan Younis to head to the designated “humanitarian zone.”
