The Israeli army released video on Monday (May 19) it says shows soldiers and tanks operating in Gaza, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would control the whole of Gaza.

The Israeli military, which announced the start of a new operation on Friday (May 16), warned residents of the southern city of Khan Younis on Monday to evacuate to the coast immediately as it prepared "an unprecedented attack."

The Israeli military said forces engaged in a new campaign dubbed "Operation Gideon's Chariots" were active across Gaza, seeking to eliminate Hamas' military and governing capabilities and bring back remaining hostages seized in October 2023.

Overnight, Israeli air strikes killed at least 20 Palestinians, according to local medics, as the military said it hit 160 targets across Gaza over the past 24 hours, including anti-tank positions, underground infrastructure and a weapons storage point.
