The IDF has issued a fresh evacuation warning for civilians in a large area near the northern Gaza city of Jabalia following rocket fire into Israel.

“Terror organizations are again launching rockets from these areas that have been warned several times in the past,” Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman says on X, attaching a map of the areas that are to be evacuated.

Civilians are urged to head for shelters in Gaza City before the IDF launches strikes on the area.

Five rockets were launched at Sderot an hour ago, marking the third day in a row of attacks from northern Gaza. Two were intercepted and three landed in open areas, according to authorities.
