Israeli army says it targeted sites used by Palestinian groups in Khan Younis

The Israeli army claims it has targeted over 50 sites used by Palestinian armed groups in its new operation in Khan Younis.

The army says its air force hit weapons depots, sniper positions, buildings and tunnels used by Hamas.

Israel says Hamas was trying to regroup in the area.

The military claims it gave civilians evacuation warnings prior to the operation, but Palestinians say they were given mere minutes before the bombings began.

At least 70 Palestinians were killed in Khan Younis on Monday.
