IDF issues evacuation warning for Gaza City after rockets fired from area
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
Following a rocket attack from the Gaza Strip on communities near the border a short while ago, the IDF issues an evacuation warning for Palestinians in the Gaza City area, where the 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.
The order includes the Gaza City neighborhoods of Zeitoun, Tel al-Hawa, and Sheikh Ijlin. Adraee calls on Palestinians to leave the area and head, via the coastal road, to “known shelters” south of the Wadi Gaza stream.
Two rockets were launched in the attack, one of which was intercepted by air defenses and a second of which impacted outside Zimrat, causing no injuries.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad took responsibility.
