The Israeli genocide against Palestinians in Gaza continues for the 308th consecutive day, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries across the Strip.

Recent Israeli attacks were concentrated on Khan Younis in southern Gaza, with several airstrikes targeting the city. 

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that a young man was killed by Israeli snipers in Abasan al-Jadida, east of Khan Younis, and the bodies of two additional victims, including a child, were retrieved from the area.

Palestinians were massively displaced from the towns of Khazaa and Abasan al-Kabira, as well as other eastern towns of Khan Younis, with residents being forcibly displaced westward following threats from invading Israeli forces.

Our correspondent reported that the Israeli aggression is now focused on eastern Khan Younis after the forcible displacement of residents, with intense bombardment hitting areas, such as al-Zanna and al-Qarara in the northern part of the city.

Many victims remain trapped under rubble or stranded in the streets, as rescue teams face severe obstacles due to debris and ongoing bombardment.
