The IDF orders Palestinians in a new area of southern Gaza’s Khan Younis to evacuate, as the military expands its ground offensive against Hamas.
The IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson, Col. Avichay Adraee, posts a map on X showing several blocks in western Khan Younis that are to be evacuated. The neighborhood was not included in the IDF’s previous warnings for Khan Younis.
Civilians are called to head westward toward the Maswasi area on the coast.
“The IDF will operate with great force in the areas where you are present,” Adraee warns.
