Israeli Forces Extend Its Evacuation Order To Entire Gaza City

The latest warnings threaten to intensify the situation for already displaced communities after over 250,000 residents were urged to head to "safe zones" further south since Sunday.

Israeli forces have extended its evacuation order to the entire city of Gaza.

The latest warnings threaten to intensify the situation for already displaced communities after over 250,000 residents were urged to head to “safe zones” further south since Sunday.

Along with the order, Israeli forces issued a notice saying it will be suspending inspection of two roads in Gaza City to allow civilians to reach humanitarian zones more easily and quickly as the city will “remain a dangerous combat zone.”

The IDF said the evacuation orders are necessary to avoid getting civilians caught in the crossfire during its renewed operations in areas where Hamas is attempting to re-establish a presence.

Hamas said the evacuations threaten negotiations for the possibility of a ceasefire.
