Following rocket fire by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad from the northern Gaza Strip on Sderot and nearby communities a short while ago, the IDF issues an evacuation warning for Palestinians in the Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun areas, where the two projectiles were fired from.

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.
