Israel orders more evacuations; deadly strike hits school housing displaced

On Saturday, Israel ordered the evacuation of southern Khan Younis due to ongoing attacks from the area. This is the second evacuation order within a week, as hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians had been seeking refuge in the safe zone. An Israeli airstrike on a Deir al-Balah school housing displaced people killed 30 and injured over 100. Israel claims to have targeted a Hamas command center embedded in the school, taking precautions to minimize civilian casualties. Israel's navy intercepted a drone flying near the Karish gas field, potentially sent from Lebanon. Prime Minister Netanyahu met with former President Trump, downplaying past tensions. Since the war began, over 39,000 people have been killed and 90,000 injured in Gaza, primarily women and children. Israel estimates over 300 soldiers were killed in Hamas' attack and 328 since its operations began. The ongoing conflict continues to displace civilians, with repeated evacuation orders and strikes on designated safe zones. The U.N. has expressed concerns about the escalating violence and the need for civilian protection.
