Towns near Gaza okayed to evacuate residents
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHome Front Command has given the go-ahead for towns bordering Gaza to begin evacuating residents to other parts of the country, with officials estimating that fighting will last at least three days, Channel 13 news reports.
According to the channel, towns already have plans drawn up for such an eventuality, along with arrangements for where residents who must leave home for fear of rocket attack can be housed.
Officials are waiting to see if Hamas joins in the fighting to gauge how intense the clash is expected to be, but are taking precautions in the meantime, Channel 13 says.
