Palestinians in Khan Younis are shocked by the extensive destruction caused by Israeli troops who have withdrawn from the area. Thousands of buildings have been destroyed or damaged, leaving the city unrecognisable and unliveable for its residents.
Stunned Palestinians found their home city unrecognisable as they filtered in to salvage what they could from the vast destruction left by Israeli troops who have withdrawn from southern Gaza ’s Khan Younis after months of fighting and bombardment.
The war, now in its seventh month, has killed more than 33,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to local health authorities. Israeli authorities say 1200 people, mostly civilians, were killed and roughly 250 people were taken hostage on October 7. More than 600 Israeli soldiers have been killed since then.
One woman clambered over collapsed concrete slabs atop a mountain of her home’s wreckage. Her son crawled on all fours into a hollow under the rubble and twisted rebar, clearing away concrete blocks. With the troops’ withdrawal, Hamas could seek to regroup there as it has in northern Gaza, where the military scaled back forces earlier.
