The IDF issues an evacuation warning for Palestinians residing in the vicinity of a high-rise building in Gaza City’s Rimal neighborhood ahead of an airstrike.
“The IDF will strike the building soon due to the presence of Hamas terror infrastructure inside or nearby,” the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, Col. Avichay Adraee, says.
Civilians are instructed to leave Gaza City for the Israeli-designated “humanitarian zone” in the Strip’s south.
The IDF has called in recent days on civilians in all of Gaza City to head for the humanitarian zone, ahead of a major offensive against Hamas.
Out of the one million Palestinians who were in Gaza City, more than 280,000 have evacuated, according to IDF estimates.
