Israel again orders residents to evacuate areas of Gaza City it once said were cleared of Hamas
The Israeli military ordered Palestinians to evacuate Gaza City and head south as it expanded operations in the north of the enclave, an area it previously said it had cleared of Hamas fighters.
The Israeli military ordered Palestinians to evacuate Gaza City and head south as it expanded operations in the north of the enclave, an area it previously said it had cleared of Hamas fighters.
As Brett McGurk, White House coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa, discussed negotiations for a Gaza cease-fire with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Wednesday, leaflets rained down on the city that was home to more than 500,000 people before the conflict, ordering those who remain to follow evacuation routes south.
The leaflets, documented by an NBC News crew in the Gaza Strip, said Gaza City would “remain a dangerous combat zone.” Civilians would be able to pass through secure corridors “without inspection” to the cities of Deir Al-Balah and Al-Zawayda in central Gaza, they said.
