Gaza, MINA – The Israeli occupation army instructed all remaining residents of Gaza City to flee south towards Deir al-Balah.
As reported by Palestine Chronicle, the call on Wednesday came as the Israeli military intensified attacks throughout the besieged Palestinian enclave, including a raid on a UN refugee agency compound that it claimed was being used by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad fighters.
The Israeli army has issued several evacuation warnings in Gaza City in the past few days, as Israeli troops carried out operations in its western, southern, and eastern neighborhoods, according to the Times of Israel.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians remain in the northern part of the enclave despite repeated Israeli efforts, since the start of the war, to empty northern Gaza from its inhabitants.
