Israeli forces sent tanks deeper into Khan Younis in the southern part of Gaza Strip and launched strikes across the enclave as they battled Hamas-led militants, killing at least 34 Palestinians on Wednesday, according to medics. Meanwhile residents of Khan Younis said Israeli tanks made a surprise advance into the city, while the military ordered evacuations in the east, forcing many families to run for safety. VOA’s Esther Githui-Ewart spoke to Bill Van Esveld, the associate director for middle east & north Africa at Human Rights Watch for an analysis on how the war is affecting both Israeli and Palestinian civilians.
