Heavy fighting is taking place across Gaza as Israel says its forces are now operating “in the heart of” the territory’s second-largest city as it steps up its war on Hamas.
Tanks were digging in on the outskirts of Khan Younis during what one commander called the most intense day of fighting since ground operations began against Hamas. It came as the United Nations warned that “an even more hellish scenario is about to unfold in the Gaza Strip” with Israeli airstrikes pummelling the area.
