The third battle of Khan Yunis[5][6][7][8] was a battle in the Israel-Hamas war which began on 9 August 2024. The battle represented the third separate ground operation in Khan Yunis by Israel against Hamas-led Palestinian forces, following the first siege and a brief second battle in the city. Like the previous two battles, it ended in an Israeli withdrawal from Khan Yunis.
