Drive Through Khan Yunis Documents Destruction After Israeli Withdrawal

Footage filmed in Gaza by a local journalist during a drive through Khan Yunis on Friday, April 26, shows the devastation left behind following the withdrawal of most Israeli troops earlier this month.

Video taken by Mohammed Abo Oun shows buildings – including a mosque – in ruins, as well as debris scattered on the streets of the city in southern Gaza.

Abo Oun told Storyful he was “monitoring the effects of the massive destruction caused by the Israeli occupation vehicles after their withdrawal from the southern regions.”

Israeli troops pulled back from Khan Yunis on April 7 following months of fighting, the Times of Israel reported.

Since then, reports have emerged of Israeli forces storming back into the eastern part of Khan Yunis. Credit: Mohammed Abo Oun via Storyful
