"Escalating Israeli Offensive in Southern Gaza Sparks Humanitarian Crisis"

Israeli ground forces have launched a ground operation in southern Gaza, following three days of heavy bombardment. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that they are expanding the ground incursion across all of Gaza, engaging in face-to-face battles with terrorists. The IDF has issued evacuation orders for several districts of Khan Younis, where Hamas leaders are believed to be hiding. The UN has described a "degree of panic" in a Gaza hospital, and the Hamas-run health ministry reports that over 500 people have been killed since the bombing resumed. The situation in Gaza is described as "beyond catastrophic," with hundreds of thousands of people displaced and lacking basic resources.
