The Israel Defense Forces warns residents of Gaza City that the area is now a “battlefield,” as it steps up its air campaign against Hamas terrorists in the Palestinian territory.
“To the residents of the Gaza Strip: The Gaza governorate (Gaza City) has become a battlefield. Shelters in northern Gaza and Gaza governorate are not safe,” the army says in leaflets dropped by fighter jets, as it urges residents to “evacuate immediately” to the south.
