The IDF has issued an urgent warning to residents in parts of Gaza City, calling for their immediate evacuation ahead of an imminent strike on a Gaza City high-rise.

Arabic-language IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee says the military is preparing to target the Al-Ruya building and nearby tents, which he says contain Hamas terror infrastructure. Civilians have been instructed to head south toward the designated humanitarian zone in al-Mawasi, near Khan Younis.

The warning comes as Israeli forces press deeper into Gaza City with the intention of dismantling Hamas’s remaining strongholds, while simultaneously urging civilians to evacuate southward for their safety.

Yesterday, the IDF struck another high-rise in the city, also alleging that it was being used by Hamas for military purposes.
