Aljazeera Source Israeli forces are withdrawing from eastern Khan Younis in southern Gaza nine days after launching a military offensive there. At least 21 Palestinians were killed in the area in the past 24 hours. Another 43 were injured and taken to Nasser Hospital, the city’s last functioning health facility. During the offensive, thousands of people were forced to head west towards al-Mawasi, where families are living in tents.
Israel had previously declared al-Mawasi a so-called safe evacuation zone, but has attacked it repeatedly. Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud has the latest from Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, Palestine.
