Following the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Khan Younis, some Palestinians have returned to find their city in ruins. Footage captured by a Gaza resident shows the extent of the destruction, with rubble-strewn streets and heavily damaged buildings.
Initially designated as a safe zone by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), Khan Younis soon became a target as the IDF advanced southward, citing it as a Hamas stronghold. The city endured sustained attacks, leaving many areas in ruins.
