Israeli Army Orders Evacuation of Combat Zones in Gaza

غزة - سكاي نيوز

On Wednesday, the Israeli army issued orders for the evacuation of "dangerous combat areas" in northern and southern Gaza, following the resumption of the war and airstrikes that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians.

In a statement released by army spokesperson Avichai Adraee on the "X" platform, he warned of significant danger in areas such as Beit Hanoun, Khuza'a, and Abasan al-Kabira and al-Jadida. He urged residents in those areas to quickly evacuate to known shelters in western Gaza City and Khan Yunis.

On Tuesday, Israel conducted airstrikes on Gaza, the most intense since the ceasefire with Hamas began on January 19, resulting in more than 400 fatalities, according to the health ministry in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that the airstrikes are "just the beginning," emphasizing the need for military pressure to ensure the return of hostages held by Hamas.

While Israel vowed to continue fighting in Gaza until the "hostages are returned," Hamas leader Sami Abu Zuhri argued that Israel seeks to impose a "surrender agreement" on the movement, accusing the United States of being "complicit in the escalation."
