The IDF issues an evacuation warning to Palestinians in the Bani Suheila area of the southern Gaza Strip, following Hamas’s rocket fire on central Israel.
In a post on X, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, Col. Avichay Adraee, publishes a map of the area that is to be evacuated, saying that it is a “final warning” before the IDF carries out strikes there.
“Terror organizations are once again launching their rockets from within civilian areas. We have warned this area many times,” he says.
Adraee calls on Gazan civilians to head west for recognized humanitarian shelters.
Hamas fired three rockets at central Israel from the area earlier today.
#عاجل ‼️ إلى جميع سكان قطاع غزة المتواجدين في المنطقة المحددة في بني سهيلا
⭕️هذا انذار مسبق وأخير قبل الغارة!
⭕️تعود المنظمات الإرهابية وتطلق قذائفها الصاروخية من داخل المدنيين. لقد حذرنا هذه المنطقة مرات عديدة.
⭕️من أجل سلامتكم عليكم الانتقال بشكل فوري غربًا إلى مراكز الإيواء… pic.twitter.com/tGwzdtufnF— افيخاي ادرعي (@AvichayAdraee) March 20, 2025
