Israel ordered the evacuation Wednesday of large areas of Gaza's main southern city, the United Nations said. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said Israel had released maps showing new areas covering about 20 percent of the khan yunis city that had been marked for evacuation.

The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said Monday that an Israeli operation in the main southern city of khan yunis killed 70 people and wounded more than 200, after Israel warned its forces would "forcefully operate" in the area. "Due to the Israeli occupation's attacks and massacres in khan yunis governorate from the early hours of this morning until now, 70 people have been martyred and more than 200 wounded," the Gaza health ministry said.

Israel is continuing its assault on the Gaza Strip, specifically targeting the city of Rafah. The city has become overcrowded with civilians who have been displaced by the war. The United Nations has expressed concern about the situation in Rafah, describing it as a 'pressure cooker of despair.' The city that had been home to 200,000 people now hosts more than half of Gaza's population, the United Nations said.

The UN expressed concern about worsening conditions in southern Gaza due to the surge in people seeking safety in Rafah. The humanitarian agency is deeply concerned about the escalation of hostilities in khan yunis and the heavy fighting near hospitals. The situation jeopardizes the safety of medical staff, the wounded, and thousands of internally displaced people.

The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) were close to capturing top Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, but he escaped from a tunnel before the raid. IDF spokesman Daniel Hageri confirmed that they had specific information about the tunnel where Sinwar was hiding. Sinwar has escaped capture by IDF twice recently and is believed to be hiding in tunnels in Gaza's Khan Younis. The Israeli forces have cracked down on underground structures in an effort to hunt down Sinwar and other leaders. Sinwar is suspected of executing Hamas' attack on southern Israel.

Sabah was involved in orchestrating the deadly October 7 Kibbutz Nir Oz attack. The IDF's operations have also led to the elimination of 14 Hamas militants, including six directly involved in the attack.
