Eyewitness account of Israel's ongoing assault in Khan Younis

Israel has intensified its attacks on Khan Younis on Monday, with troops besieging the city from all sides.

The attacks are currently around the Al-Qadisiya area and near al-Kheir hospital, an eyewitness confirmed, speaking to Middle East Eye.

"Bodies of the dead and wounded are being taken to Nasser hospital via carts pushed by young men,” an eyewitness told MEE.

“Until now medical rescue teams find it extremely difficult to extract bodies and wounded from the sites of the attacks, which are random and in residential areas,” he said.

“We’ve sent out lots of calls to help the wounded and extract bodies but the area is very dangerous, the bombardment is ongoing."

The Israeli army is situated on all exits of Khan Younis and has imposed a siege on the city, a resident of the city said.

No one is allowed to enter or exit, he said. "I don't recommend any one from entering or exiting Khan Younis, it’s very dangerous,” he told MEE.
