Israeli forces ordered new evacuations in Gaza's southern city Khan Younis on Saturday before launching waves of strikes across the besieged territory – escalating hostilities hours after the US wielded its UN Security Council veto to shield Israel from a global ceasefire resolution.
The moves mark Day 66 of intense fighting since Hamas' October 7 attacks, with Gaza health officials reporting over 17,700 Palestinian casualties. Families in central Khan Younis received evacuation notices via leaflets and calls, triggering fresh displacement in the war-torn enclave.
The UN resolution demanding immediate humanitarian ceasefire failed Friday when Washington vetoed it, drawing sharp criticism from allies. A frustrated UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned Gaza faces 'apocalyptic' conditions, with 1.9 million displaced civilians now facing winter rains and disease outbreaks.
Meanwhile, Israel maintains its campaign against Hamas is entering a 'new phase,' deploying troops deeper into southern Gaza. The conflict's ripple effects continue globally, sparking protests from London to Jakarta demanding political action.
