The Israeli military on Sunday released footage of troops operating in Khan Younis, the southern part of the Gaza Strip.

The footage said to show troops from the Commando Brigade moving around the besieged city in Gaza, raiding civilian buildings and firing towards Hamas targets.

Shelling and missile strikes rocked the length of the Gaza Strip overnight into Tuesday, after Israel’s army warned its war against the territory’s Hamas rulers will last through 2024.

On Monday night into Tuesday morning, eyewitnesses reported missiles fired towards the city of Rafah in the south and shelling around the Jabalia refugee camp in the north.

Fighting was also reported around the central areas of Maghazi and Bureij, as well as the main southern city of Khan Yunis.

“It’s the worst year of our lives,” Gaza resident Sami Hamouda, 64, told AFP of 2023.
