The IDF issues a new evacuation order for Palestinians in the Khan Younis area in the southern Gaza Strip, following rocket fire on southern Israel from those areas.

Four rockets were launched at the border community of Kissufim earlier on Saturday, causing no injuries.

Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, publishes a list of the zones that need to be evacuated.

The announcement calls on Palestinians in the specified areas to evacuate to the Israeli-designated humanitarian zone.

The IDF is currently carrying out an offensive in Khan Younis. Before the raid, the IDF issued evacuation orders for other areas of Khan Younis.
