Xinhua News Agency, Gaza, July 22 (Reporter Huang Zemin) The health department of the Gaza Strip of Palestine issued a statement on the 22nd saying that the Israeli army bombed the southern Gaza Strip city of Khan Yunis that day, killing at least 70 people and injuring more than 200 people.

According to the Palestinian News Agency on the 22nd, several Israeli warplanes intensively bombed the eastern community of Khan Yunis. Before the attack, local people evacuated westward on a large scale, but time was tight and a large number of casualties occurred.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East said on social media on the 22nd that thousands of people in Khan Yunis have once again fled conflict and military operations. The "cycle" of fear and displacement has lasted too long and the situation is "unbearable."

The IDF issued a statement on the 22nd saying that the IDF asked residents of the eastern community of Khan Yunis to evacuate earlier that day because intelligence showed that "terrorists" were active in these areas and firing rockets, and the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) was also trying to regroup its forces there. The IDF and artillery units struck more than 30 "terrorist infrastructures" in Khan Yunis that day.

Since July, the Israeli army has attacked Khan Yunis many times. On the 13th, the Israeli army bombed the Mawasi area in Khan Yunis, killing at least 90 people and injuring about 300 people. On the 16th, the Israeli army's air strikes on the Mawasi area killed at least 17 people and injured 26 people.

According to the latest data released by the health department of the Gaza Strip in Palestine on the 22nd, since the outbreak of a new round of Israeli-Palestinian conflict in October last year, Israel's military operations in the Gaza Strip have caused more than 39,000 deaths and more than 89,000 injuries.
