"Khan Younis: Palestinians Return to Devastation After Israeli Withdrawal"

Palestinians return to Khan Younis in southern Gaza after Israeli troops withdraw, only to find their city unrecognizable, with thousands of buildings destroyed or damaged. The war, now in its seventh month, has left vast swaths of the territory unlivable for its 2.3 million people. With the city now unlivable, many have little immediate chance to return, and the fate of those sheltering in Rafah, Hamas' last major stronghold, remains uncertain as Israel plans a potential invasion. Israel's military aims to destroy Hamas' military and governing capabilities and return the remaining hostages, with negotiations for a ceasefire and hostage release underway.
