The Israeli military has begun calling on Palestinians to evacuate the eastern neighborhoods of Rafah, those close to the Israeli border, ahead of a planned offensive in the area in the southern Gaza Strip.

The civilians are being called to move to an expanded humanitarian zone in the al-Mawasi and Khan Younis areas.
