The IDF issues an evacuation warning for Palestinians in several schools and a hospital in Gaza City’s Rimal neighborhood, saying that Hamas is exploiting the civilian sites for terror.

“Due to the Hamas terror organization exploiting civilian areas for terror activities, as shown in the attached image, the IDF will attack the area with great force,” warns the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, Col. Avichay Adraee.

“For your safety, you must evacuate the area,” he adds.

The school complexes and Shifa Hospital are used by displaced Gazans as shelters.
