The death toll from Israel's bombardment of Khan Younis rises to at least 19

The number of Palestinians killed by an Israeli strike on Khan Younis has risen to at least 19, according to several Palestinian news reports and Al Jazeera Arabic.

The strike on Khan Younis, located in southern Gaza, comes after Israel had ordered Palestinians to leave the north of the Strip and head south.

Israel's former prime minister Ehud Olmert has claimed that Hamas's command centre is located in Khan Younis, after Israel had claimed it was in al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza.
