IDF says Beit Hanoun residents can go home
The IDF notifies residents of Beit Hanoun, a city in the northern Gaza Strip, that they can return home starting at 2 p.m. today.
The IDF called on the residents to leave the city, which was a source of rocket fire at Israeli towns and saw a significant amount of fighting since the launch of the IDF’s ground offensive against Hamas on July 17.
