Gaza Strip – The government press office in Gaza says more than 700 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip, which has been under siege over the past 24 hours. Dozens of Israeli tanks, troop transports and bulldozers have entered the southern part of the strip of Gaza, at the level of the city of Khan Younès, as reported by witnesses to Agence France Presse. Israel went to war with Hamas following the bloody attack carried out by that group, on its soil, on October 7th.

In retaliation, the Israeli army carried out more than ten thousand attacks from October 27th and launched a ground offensive in the north of Gaza, controlled by Hamas.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians had moved to southern Gaza, previously considered a safer area but which has recently been under intense bombardment.
The attacks by the Israeli army in the south of Gaza have been focused for several days on the Khan Younès sector.
As a result of this, the fleeing Palestinians have been experiencing daily aerial bombardments that have caused numerous victims, deaths and injuries with each passing day, and they fear that they will literally be pushed into Egypt, due to the massive entry of tanks and troops. of infantry in the area.
In this regard, Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, reaffirmed in a telephone conversation with American vice-president Kamala Harris, his opposition to “any forced transfer of Palestinians”, whether from Gaza or any other area of the occupied territories.
Meanwhile, an Israeli army spokesman rejected any intention to coerce Gazans out of their territory and into Egypt. “We don’t intend to evacuate people there,” Jonathan Conricus told journalists.
However, the Israeli Minister of Intelligence, Gila Gamliel, had appealed in mid-November to the international community to “promote the voluntary resettlement” of Palestinians “outside the Gaza Strip”, “instead of sending money to rebuild” the territory.
