Israel Orders Khan Younis Evacuation Ahead of 'Unprecedented Attack'

On May 19, 2025, the Israel Defense Forces ordered residents of Khan Younis and nearby areas to evacuate toward al-Mawasi ahead of an unprecedented military attack in Gaza.
The evacuation follows an expanded Israeli offensive launched May 17 in response to Hamas-led attacks that began October 7, 2023, triggering a prolonged conflict and hostage crisis.
The IDF described the operation as aiming to destroy terrorist groups' capabilities, striking roughly 160 targets across Gaza, while humanitarian organizations warned of escalating risks and resource shortages.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that the military is currently involved in intense and significant combat operations, emphasizing the goal of regaining complete control over Gaza; meanwhile, the conflict has resulted in over 53,000 Palestinian fatalities, and approximately 58 hostages remain in captivity.
The evacuation order signals a potential full-scale assault amid a humanitarian crisis as Gaza faces blockade-induced famine and ongoing bombardments, with some residents refusing to move due to lack of alternatives.
