The IDF issues an evacuation warning for a building in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood, ahead of an airstrike against “Hamas terror infrastructure.”
“The IDF will attack the building in the near future due to the presence of Hamas terror infrastructure inside it or in its vicinity,” warns Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman.
Civilians in the area are instructed to distance themselves at least 100 meters from the site.

The planned strike comes after the military said it struck a “terror infrastructure” in southern Gaza overnight, which came as a response to gunfire toward Israeli troops in the Strip’s north yesterday.
No soldiers were hurt by the gunfire, the IDF said, adding that the attack was a “blatant violation” of the ceasefire.
