Earlier on Telegram, Al-Aqsa TV channel said: “20 martyrs fell and several were injured in airstrikes and artillery shelling on towns east of Khan Younis.”
Israeli fighter jets also conducted a strike targeting a site in the village of Qizan an Najjar in the city, the channel added.
The attacks came after the Israeli army issued new orders earlier in the morning for Palestinians in the eastern neighborhoods of Khan Younis to “evacuate immediately” and move towards the newly established humanitarian zone in al-Mawasi.
A Canadian citizen tried to carry out a stabbing attack in a southern Israeli town and was “neutralised”, Israeli authorities said.
The unsuccessful attack took place at the entrance of Netiv HaAsara, a town near the border with Gaza that was hit hard during Hamas’ October 7 operation through southern Israel.
The Israeli military said the attacker “exited his vehicle and threatened with a knife members of the community’s rapid response team operating in the area.”
“The rapid response team responded with fire and neutralised the suspect. No injuries to the security forces were reported,” the military said.
