Eyewitnesses told WAFA that military bulldozers uprooted farmlands belonging to residents of Khuza’a village, east of Khan Younis.

The bulldozers were accompanied by nearly 25 tanks and armored vehicles. The uprooted lands were planted with almond and citrus trees, in addition to hothouses planted with tomatoes and other vegetables.

Undercover forces also infiltrated Al Faraheen area, east of Khan Younis. Shortly afterwards, several tanks and armored vehicles invaded the area.

The residents fear further escalation as several tanks are armored vehicles were brought to areas close to the border.
