IDF said to drop leaflets in southern Gaza warning Khan Younis residents to evacuate

Israeli forces reportedly dropped leaflets warning Palestinians to leave parts of southern Gaza, residents say, signaling a possible expansion of operations.

The leaflets dropped in areas east of the southern town of Khan Younis warned civilians to evacuate the area and saying anyone in the vicinity of terrorists or their positions “is putting his life in danger.” Similar leaflets were dropped over northern Gaza for weeks ahead of the ground invasion.

Two local reporters who live east of Khan Younis confirm seeing the leaflets to the AP. Others shared images of the leaflets on social media.

The military declined to comment.
