The IDF is calling on residents of a number of neighborhoods in western Khan Younis to evacuate to the nearby al-Mawasi area in southern Gaza, as the military’s ground offensive expands.
Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, publishes a map of the zones that need to be evacuated alongside the announcement.
The zones include the al-Nasr and al-Amal neighborhoods, the Khan Younis refugee camp, and the city center.
In the largest operation in a month, Israeli forces encircled and pushed through Khan Younis over the past few days, where many Palestinians sheltered after leaving northern Gaza, the early focus of the war.
