Israel issued a directive for Palestinians to leave Gaza City, causing confusion and fear among residents. Leaflets warned of a “dangerous combat zone” and advised fleeing south. Despite warnings from Gazans and humanitarian groups about the lack of safe areas, the Israel Defense Forces later clarified it was an “evacuation recommendation.” This follows earlier evacuation orders and marks an expansion of Israel’s assault on Gaza City, aimed at targeting Hamas fighters. Hamas’s military wing released a video showing attacks on Israeli forces in Gaza City.
