At least 89 Palestinians have been killed and 250 others wounded in Khan Younis as the Israeli military launched a new ground assault on the area, reports Al Jazeera.
Israeli forces are reportedly facing fierce resistance from the Palestinian fighters.
The latest assaults forced about 150,000 Khan Younis residents to flee in one day, with residents saying they were barely given a couple of minutes to escape to areas with little or no infrastructure.
Meanwhile, hundreds of protesters arrested in Washington, DC, before Israeli PM Netanyahu’s scheduled address to the US Congress. Netanyahu, who faces a potential ICC arrest warrant for war crimes, likely to meet President Biden, as well as presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
