STORYLINE:
Hundreds of displaced people were once again forced to evacuate from a part of Muwasi, in Khan Younis, following an Israeli military order on Monday asking people to leave an area it had designated a humanitarian zone.
Carrying their few belongings, Palestinians left the area, walking or in donkey carts amid loud explosions and smoke as shelling continued.
The military said it is planning an operation against Hamas militants who have embedded themselves in the area and used it to launch rockets toward Israel.
The area includes the eastern part of the Muwasi humanitarian zone, which is located in the southern Gaza Strip.
Many Palestinians have been uprooted multiple times in search of safety during Israel’s punishing air and ground campaign.
Earlier this month, Israel said it estimates at least 1.8 million Palestinians are now in the humanitarian zone covering a stretch of about 14 kilometers (8.6 miles) along the Mediterranean.
Much of that area is now blanketed with tent camps that lack sanitation and medical facilities and have limited access to aid, U.N. and humanitarian groups say. Families live in the midst of mountains of trash and streams contaminated by sewage.
The announcement came during delicate negotiations seeking a cease-fire in Gaza, with U.S. and Israeli officials expressing hope that an agreement is closer than ever.
A negotiating team will be sent to continue talks on Thursday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said. Egypt, Qatar and the United States are continuing to push Israel and Hamas toward a phased cease-fire deal that would stop the fighting and free the hostages.
Netanyahu left Monday morning on a much-anticipated trip to the United States to meet with President Joe Biden, who announced Sunday that he will not seek another term, and address Congress.
