Hamas urges Gazans to ignore Israeli warnings
Hamas is urging Gazans to ignore the IDF warnings to evacuate Beit Lahiya, Shuja’iya and Zeitoun, dismissing it as “psychological warfare.”
“There is no need to worry about these (warnings), or deal with them. Do not respond to them in any way,” an interior ministry statement said.
“This is part of the psychological war, intended to disrupt the domestic front.”
The IDF leaflets were distributed to some 100,000 Gaza residents.
