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.
