The IDF reiterates that all of northern Gaza and parts of Gaza City are to be evacuated, as the military continues its offensive against Hamas in the area.
In a statement, Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson, warns “all those who have returned or intend to return to the areas of Beit Lahia, Jabalia, Beit Hanoun, Shejaiya, Daraj, the Old City, Tuffah, [and] Zeitoun” that those areas are “dangerous combat zones.”
“The Israel Defense Forces are operating in these areas with very great force,” he says.
Three IDF divisions are operating in the northern Gaza Strip area, mostly in Beit Hanoun, Jabalia, and Gaza City’s eastern neighborhoods.
