The IDF issues another evacuation warning in the Gaza Strip, for Palestinians residing in a small zone in western Khan Younis.
“The IDF is continuing its ground maneuver and is using heavy force in your area to expand the scope of the fighting,” says the military’s Arabic-language spokesperson Col. Avichay Adraee in a post on X, attaching a map of the area that is to be evacuated.
He says that the evacuated zone will not be part of the areas that see a daily “humanitarian pause” for the delivery of aid.
#عاجل ‼️الى جميع المتواجدين في المنطقة المحددة، بما في ذلك المتواجدين في الخيام في حي النصر في خان يونس في البلوك 110 والجزء الشرقي في بلوك 89
⭕️يواصل جيش الدفاع تنفيذ مناورته البرية ويستخدم قوته الشديدة في منطقتكم ليتم توسيع نطاق القتال.
