KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel intensified its bombardment in and around Gaza's second largest city early Tuesday, as ambulances and private cars came racing into a local hospital carrying people wounded in a bloody new phase of the war in Gaza.
At the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, ambulances brought dozens of wounded people in throughout the night.
“My children, since 10 p.m., are still under the rubble.”Satellite photos taken Sunday showed tanks and troops massing outside Khan Younis, the latest target of the offensive, which was home to more than 400,000 people before the war.
Constant bombardment on the edge of Khan Younis lit up the sky over the town Monday evening.
The area that Israel ordered evacuated covers about a fifth of Khan Younis.
