Gazans return to Khan Younis after Israeli military withdraws

The Israeli military has withdrawn its forces from eastern Khan Younis, a city in the southern Gaza Strip, after a week-long operation. As a result, thousands of Palestinians who had fled the area have begun to return to their homes. The Israeli military had issued an evacuation order in parts of Khan Younis on July 22, citing plans to "forcefully operate against terrorist organizations". However, it is unclear if the operation was successful in achieving its stated goals.
