Palestinian media report that Israeli ground forces are beginning to advance on the Abasan area in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, amid a wave of airstrikes.
This morning, the IDF called on Palestinians to evacuate eastern Khan Younis and some areas of the designated humanitarian zone, following repeated rocket attacks on southern Israel.
The IDF had warned it was readying to “forcefully operate” against terror groups in the Khan Younis area.
The new operation comes three months after the military withdrew from Khan Younis after carrying out an operation against Hamas there for four straight months.
Meanwhile, two rockets launched from the Gaza Strip struck open areas in southern Israel, according to the IDF. Sirens had sounded in the border communities of Nir Itzhak and Sufa.
