"IDF Launches Airstrikes on Khan Younis in Southern Gaza Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict"

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have launched airstrikes on Khan Younis in southern Gaza, targeting Hamas-linked targets. The United Nations has warned that creating safe zones for civilians to flee Israeli bombing is not possible due to the absence of essential resources. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also highlighted the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza. Qatar's ruler has condemned the international community's inaction over the war in Gaza and called for Israel to return to the negotiating table. Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, with the conflict in Gaza expected to be on the agenda. The European Union has expressed concerns about a "huge risk of terrorist attacks" in member states due to the ongoing war in Gaza. Israel has also struck Hezbollah positions in Lebanon in response to shelling from across the border. The Israeli offensive has now moved to Khan Younis, with Palestinians facing the choice of staying in the path of the offensive or fleeing with no guarantee of safety.
