The US military said it carried out a fresh aid airdrop of aid into Gaza on Thursday, its third in less than a week, AFP reports.

Jordan’s military said aircraft from Belgium, Egypt, France and the Netherlands had also taken part in the latest US-Jordanian operation.

In the grey ruins of Khan Younis, southern Gaza’s largest city, dozens of people went to inspect their homes after Israeli forces pulled out of the city centre, an AFP correspondent said.

Gaza’s Civil Defence agency said Israeli forces “destroyed all water, sewage, electricity, communications, and road networks” in central Khan Younis. The army has yet to respond to an AFP request to confirm a withdrawal from the area.
