Israeli strike hits safe zone

Displaced Palestinians in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, pack up Tuesday after the Israeli army issued an evacuation order for parts of the city.

The Hamdan family — around a dozen people from three generations — fled their home in the middle of the night after the Israeli military ordered an evacuation from the south Gaza city of Khan Younis.

They found refuge with extended relatives in a building farther north, inside an Israeli-declared safe zone. But hours after they arrived, an Israeli airstrike on Tuesday afternoon hit their building in the town of Deir al-Balah, killing nine members of the family and three others.

Israel’s order on Monday for people to leave the eastern half of Khan Younis — the territory’s secondlargest city — has triggered the third mass flight of Palestinians in as many months, throwing the population deeper into confusion, chaos and misery as they scramble once again to find safety.

About 250,000 people live in the area covered by the order, according to the United Nations. Many of them had just returned to their homes there after fleeing Israel’s invasion of Khan Younis this year — or had just taken refuge there after escaping Israel’s offensive in the city of Rafah, farther south.
