Israel Orders Full Evacuation of Gaza City
The Israeli military has issued a full evacuation order to all residents of Gaza City. Leaflets dropped over the city warned of an imminent military operation and urged civilians to move south toward designated humanitarian zones such as al-Mawasi. Authorities described the situation as “extremely dangerous.”
Panic Amid Famine
Gaza City, home to nearly one million Palestinians, is already facing famine and repeated displacements. Many residents remain reluctant to leave, citing fears for their safety, lack of resources, and the high costs of relocation. Aid agencies have warned that humanitarian zones are overcrowded and unable to accommodate additional people.
Towers Targeted Amid Offensive
Alongside the evacuation order, Israeli forces escalated their campaign by targeting and demolishing high-rise buildings. The military claimed the structures were being used by Hamas, fueling concerns of a looming ground assault.
