The Israeli army says it has completely encircled Khan Younis, the main city in southern Gaza, after breaching Hamas defenses. Tanks and troops moved into the city earlier in the week, and intense fighting was reported on Wednesday. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) went house-to-house in Khan Younis as street battles forced more civilians to flee toward the Egyptian border. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the IDF had surrounded the home of Yehya Sinwar, the leader of the Islamist Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip, which is reportedly in Khan Younis. Hamas is classified as a terrorist group by the EU, US and other countries. Although Sinwar may still flee, Netanyahu said: "It is only a matter of time before we find him."
