US EditionIsrael’s military orders evacuation of Gaza’s second-largest city Khan Younis as its operations expand
- The Israel Defense Forces ordered the immediate evacuation of Gaza's second-largest city, Khan Younis, on May 19, 2025, as they launched a new offensive there and elsewhere in Gaza.
- This escalation comes after several months of a sustained Israeli military offensive against Hamas, initiated in response to the militant group's attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, which resulted in the deaths of more than 1,200 individuals and the capture of 251 hostages.
- The operation, called Gideon's Chariots, involves unprecedented extensive ground assaults combined with air strikes targeting more than 670 Hamas-related sites amid a near three-month blockade of Gaza.
- Prime Minister Netanyahu stated Israel will allow a 'basic quantity' of food into Gaza to prevent a starvation crisis for practical and diplomatic reasons, while the UN warns 22 percent face imminent famine.
- The offensive has intensified humanitarian concerns, displacing millions, resulting in over 53,000 Palestinian deaths according to Gaza health authorities, and increasing international pressure on Israel to ease the blockade.
