Israel has increased attacks on Khan Younis in southern Gaza and sent tanks westwards, prompting accusations from Jordan that its field hospital in the city had been badly damaged by nearby shelling.
Yesterday, the Jordanian army said that it held Israel responsible for a “flagrant breach of international law” due to the damage to the facility.
Elsewhere in the city, people at and around Nasser Hospital were forced to flee as Israeli tanks approached the district overnight following a statement from the Israeli army that it had come under fire in the area.

Palestinian health officials say at least seven people were killed by Israeli air raids that damaged homes near the hospital.
At least 24,448 people have been killed in the Israeli assault on Gaza since October 7, the Palestinian health ministry has said.
At least 1,139 people, mostly civilians, were killed in the Hamas attack on southern Israel on October 7 according to an Al Jazeera tally based on official figures.
