An Israel Defense Forces spokesman says that some 100,000 people remain in Gaza City despite warnings from the Israeli military that they should move to the south of the enclave ahead of the ground operation.
According to The Guardian, Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus says the “enhanced military operations” will begin “when the timing suits the goal.”
