Large-scale demolition operations swept through areas east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, the Ma'an news agency reported. The operations targeted residential and commercial structures across multiple neighborhoods in the densely populated city, a major urban center in the enclave's south.
Details on the full scope of damage, number of buildings destroyed, and any casualties remained unclear at the time of reporting. Demolitions have been a recurring feature of Israeli military operations in Gaza, often cited by the military as targeting militant infrastructure and weapons caches, though they frequently affect civilian areas and residential zones.
