IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says residents of Gaza City have begun to move southward after the military warned it would begin to heavily target the area.

“The population of Gaza City has started moving south significantly in order to defend itself,” Hagari says in a press conference.

He says the IDF has struck thousands of targets across the Gaza Strip since the fighting began last weekend.
