The Israeli army has urged residents of a northern neighbourhood in Khan Younis to leave the area immediately ahead of a new military operation in the Gaza Strip city.<\/p>\n
The al-Jalaa neighbourhood of Khan Younis will no longer be considered part of a humanitarian zone due to “significant terrorist activity” there, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The IDF said civilians in al-Jalaa should move to a redrawn humanitarian zone. The IDF said residents had been informed via SMS, telephone calls, flyers and other messages in Arabic.<\/p>\n
“The adjustment is being carried out in accordance with precise intelligence indicating that Hamas has embedded terrorist infrastructure in the area defined as a humanitarian area,” the IDF said.<\/p>\n
Nearly 100 people were reported killed in a devastating Israeli airstrike on a school building in Gaza City on Saturday, Palestinians said.<\/p>\n
A spokesman for the Hamas-controlled Palestinian civil defence said at least 93 people died in the building, which was being used as a refugee shelter. The incident prompted international outrage.<\/p>\n
The Israeli military confirmed the attack, which it said targeted a Hamas command centre located in the building. At least 19 commanders and fighters of Hamas and Islamic Jihad were killed, the IDF said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
