Intense fighting is being reported in Khan Younis, a city once considered a safe haven for Palestinians who fled northern Gaza.
Israeli military is now hunting down Hamas senior leader Yahya Sinwar after surrounding his residence.
Lee Seung-jae has more.
Fighting intensified in southern Gaza on Wednesday as the Israel Defense Forces reached the “heart“ of the city of Khan Younis.
The Israeli military says its tanks made their way to the center of Khan Younis and it engaged in what they said was some of the fiercest fighting of the war.
Israeli offensives at the largest city in southern Gaza, means thousands are now fleeing further south.
Strikes were also reported in Rafah, where Gazans were told to flee by Israel.
Upon reaching Khan Younis, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Israeli forces have surrounded the home of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, saying he is hiding underground.
“Yesterday I said that our forces could reach anywhere in the Gaza Strip. Today they are encircling Sinwar’s house. His house may not be his fortress and he can escape but it’s only a matter of time before we get him.“
Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday, invoked the rarely used Article 99 of the UN Charter to push for a ceasefire and formally warn the Security Council of a global threat from the armed conflict.
In a letter to the UNSC, Guterres wrote that the armed conflict “may aggravate existing threats to international peace and security.“
He added that he invoked Article 99 to “bring to the attention of the Security Council any matter which in his opinion may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security.“
The UN chief went on to say that the world is facing a “severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system“, with the situation “fast deteriorating into a catastrophe with potentially irreversible implications for Palestinians as a whole and for peace and security in the region.“
According to UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric, the article has not been used for decades.
