The Israeli military is preparing to launch a new operation in northern Gaza’s Jabaliya, after identifying attempts by Hamas to regroup there.
The IDF estimates there are between 100,000 and 150,000 Palestinians in the evacuation zone. They are being called to move to shelters in western Gaza City.
It will be the second time the IDF is operating in Jabaliya after it was captured during the first months of Israel’s ground offensive against Hamas. The IDF later withdrew from north Gaza.
The evacuation order comes as the IDF continues to operate in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood, after similarly identifying Hamas regrouping there.
