Israel Orders Full Evacuation of Gaza

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have issued an order for the complete evacuation of Gaza City. This decision is related to preparations for a ground operation against the Hamas group.

IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee stated that remaining in the city is dangerous. According to him, residents must leave the area immediately.

People have been advised to head to the humanitarian zone of Al-Mawasi in the south. To do so, they should use the Al-Rashid coastal road.

This is the first time that Israel has ordered the evacuation of an entire city. Previously, such directives only applied to specific neighborhoods.

The Israeli military has also provided a phone number for reporting Hamas checkpoints. They warned that the operation will be “decisive and powerful” across the entire Gaza Strip.

In recent days, Israel has intensified its airstrikes. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the destruction of terrorist infrastructure and partial control over the city.

International humanitarian organizations have expressed concern, warning of the risk of a large-scale humanitarian crisis due to shortages of water, food, and medical aid.
