Israeli forces detain dozens of Palestinians from residential complex

Israeli forces have detained dozens of Palestinians from a residential complex in Khan Younis, according to local media. 

Hamad City, a complex containing hundreds of flats housing people who lost their homes in earlier Israeli wars, came under attack over the weekend. 

Israeli tanks and ground troops surrounded the Qatari-funded buildings and forced thousands of residents out. 

Some 1,200 were detained from Khan Younis in recent days and taken to unknown locations, according to the Israeli military. 

Israeli forces have detained hundreds of Palestinians from "safe corridors" since invading Gaza in late October.

The detainees include doctors, journalists, women, children, and elders aged as young as six and as old as 82. 

They are taken to military detention facilities, held without charge, interrogated, and abused for weeks, according to a UN report reviewed by the New York Times.
