The military’s Arabic-language spokesperson has issued an evacuation warning for residents in several neighborhoods of Gaza City — including Tuffah, Daraj and the Old City — ahead of expected IDF operations in the area.
The warning follows the launch of two rockets from Gaza earlier today toward Israeli territory near the northern Gaza Strip, both of which were intercepted by the Israeli Air Force.
The statement says the IDF is operating with “very strong force” and will strike “any area used to launch rockets toward Israel.”
Residents in the affected areas are urged to evacuate immediately southward to the humanitarian zone in al-Mawasi and to refrain from returning to the designated combat zones.
