The IDF issues an evacuation warning for Palestinians residing in the vicinity of a high-rise building in Gaza City ahead of an airstrike.

“The IDF will strike the building soon due to the presence of Hamas terror infrastructure inside or nearby,” the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee says.

Civilians are instructed to leave Gaza City for the Israeli-designated “humanitarian zone” in the Strip’s south.

The IDF has called in recent days on Palestinian civilians in all of Gaza City to head for the humanitarian zone, ahead of a major offensive against Hamas.

Out of the one million Palestinians who were in Gaza City, more than 250,000 have evacuated, according to IDF estimates.
