Israeli troops and Hamas fighters are locked in a ferocious showdown in Khan Younis, Gaza’s second-largest city, as Day 63 of the conflict sees battles intensify across the Strip. The fighting has severely disrupted humanitarian aid deliveries, leaving thousands without food, water, or medical supplies.
The latest escalation follows Israel’s resumption of combat operations last Friday, accusing Hamas of violating a week-long truce. Analysts describe the Khan Younis clashes as some of the most intense since the conflict began, with both sides vying for strategic control.
Local residents report explosions echoing through neighborhoods, while aid workers warn of a deepening crisis. \"This is a race against time,\" said one UN official, urging renewed diplomatic efforts.
