The IDF issues an evacuation warning for Palestinians residing in the Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gaza City.
“As you have been warned, the IDF continues to deepen its operations westward,” says the military’s Arabic-language spokesperson, Col. Avichay Adraee in a post on X, attaching a map of the area that is to be evacuated.
The area from which people are instructed to evacuate is already under prior evacuation orders.
Palestinians in Zeitoun are instructed to head for the Mawasi area on the coast of the south of Gaza.
