‘Nowhere is safe’ as Israel shifts bombardment to south Gaza

Gaza, The Gulf Observer: Israel’s military ordered more areas in and around Gaza’s second-largest city of Khan Younis to evacuate, followed by heavy bombardment, as it shifted its offensive to the southern half of the territory.

Palestinians in Gaza said they were running out of places to go, adding that “nowhere is safe to go”. Many of the territory’s 2.3 million people are crammed in the south after Israel ordered civilians to leave the north in the early days of the offensive.

Heavy bombardment was reported overnight into Sunday around Khan Younis and the southern city of Rafah, as well as parts of the north that had been the focus of Israel’s shattering air and ground offensive.
