VARIOUS OF WIDESPREAD DESTRUCTION IN KHAN YOUNIS, WITH DESTROYED HOUSES AND INFRASTRUCTURE, / PEOPLE SEARCHING FOR BELONGINGS IN RUBBLE​​​​​​​ KHAN YOUNIS, GAZA, PALESTINE - OCTOBER 11, 2025: Following Israel’s partial withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and the implementation of a ceasefire, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have begun returning to their homes, many encountering widespread destruction caused by Israeli genocide. Among them, Abdulmalik al-Farra returned to his neighborhood in Khan Younis on Friday, only to discover that his home had been completely demolished by Israel. He described the scale of the devastation, noting that schools, mosques, and roads had been entirely destroyed and that there was no safe place to live. Despite the destruction, he expressed resilience and determination, telling journalists: "We will rebuild Gaza!" The devastation across Gaza is extensive, with thousands of returnees forced to set up tents atop the remains of their destroyed homes. A gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces toward the yellow line was completed on Friday in accordance with US President Donald Trump’s plan. The army forces withdrew from Gaza City in the north, excluding the Shejaiya neighborhood and some parts of the Al-Tuffah and Zeitoun neighborhoods; and the central and eastern parts of Khan Younis in the south. Palestinians were prevented from entering Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia in northern Gaza. The Gaza Government Media Office said on Saturday that more than 5,000 missions, including humanitarian, health, rescue, and relief operations, were carried out in the past 24 hours across Gaza governorates. Trump announced Wednesday that Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of a 20-point plan he laid out on Sept. 29 to bring a ceasefire to Gaza, release all Israeli captives being held there in exchange for around 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, and a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the entire Gaza Strip. The first phase of the deal came into force at 12 noon local time Friday (0900 GMT). A second phase of the plan calls for the establishment of a new governing mechanism in Gaza without Hamas’ participation, the formation of a security force comprising Palestinians and troops from Arab and Islamic countries, and the disarmament of Hamas. Since October 2023, Israeli genocide has killed nearly 67,200 Palestinians in the enclave, most of them women and children, and rendered it uninhabitable.
