Israeli Airstrikes Kill 30 in Rafah, Khan Younis

Israeli airstrikes over the weekend in Rafah and Khan Younis caused significant casualties, with reports indicating at least 30 Palestinians were killed, including women and children. The attacks are part of a larger military campaign that resumed earlier in the week, resulting in over 650 fatalities and more than 1,172 injuries since Tuesday, predominantly among vulnerable groups. The Israeli military has ordered evacuations from heavily damaged areas like Tel al-Sultan, leading to scenes of displacement under fire as families flee with their belongings. Amidst this violence, Israel's Cabinet approved a plan to facilitate the 'voluntary departure' of Palestinians, a move criticized by rights groups as potentially unlawful expulsion. Local journalists and residents describe the dire conditions and the constant threat of airstrikes, with many unable to evacuate safely. The ongoing conflict has drawn international attention and condemnation, particularly regarding the humanitarian implications for Gaza's civilian population.
