‘Snipers shooting anyone who moves’ in Khan Younis: Al Jazeera

A new wave of air strikes by Israeli fighter jets have targeted the central areas of Gaza, Al Jazeera correspondent Tareq Abu Azzoum reported from Deir el-Balah on Thursday.

In Bureij, which is a very active war zone between Hamas fighters and Israeli forces, fighting continues to rage.

The main focus of the ongoing Israeli assault is the eastern part of Khan Younis city where at least 20 Palestinians have been killed since the early hours of today. The vast majority of dead and injured are women and children.

Meanwhile, witnesses say Israeli snipers have been deployed there and are shooting anyone who is moving. Casualties continue to arrive at Nasser Hospital, with many victims in critical condition, medical sources say.

Video posted on X by a Palestinian journalist shows families establishing makeshift shelters in a cemetery in Khan Younis due to the influx of displaced people and overcrowding at shelters.

On Monday, the Israeli army ordered a fresh round of evacuations from areas of Khan Younis immediately following them with violent bombardment.

The UN says that the evacuation orders affected around 150,000 people.

Pro-Palestine protesters in Berlin staged a mini-Gaza scene, acting as victims of an Israeli attack to highlight the suffering Palestinians face in the war.
