Palestinian civilians move away from the eastern districts of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip following evacuation orders by the Israeli army on Monday, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas militant group.

The Israeli military ordered civilians to leave parts of the Gazan city of Khan Younis due to a renewed assault against Hamas, even as it reduced the size of an already overcrowded humanitarian zone where they could potentially take shelter.

The Israel Defense Forces “is about to forcefully operate against the terrorist organizations,” the military said in a statement early Monday. The remaining population in the eastern neighborhoods of Khan Younis should temporarily move to the humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi, it said.
