The Israeli occupation army issued evacuation orders on Friday, including areas heavily crowded with displaced people northwest of Khan Younis and east of Deir al-Balah.

The evacuation orders include large parts of the so-called humanitarian zone, which is crowded with displaced people.

The occupation army said that it is dropping leaflets on the neighborhoods north of Khan Yunis and east of Deir al-Balah in the Gaza Strip, calling on residents to leave in preparation for military operations.

A statement issued in this regard explained that Hamas is exploiting these “humanitarian” areas to launch rockets towards the surroundings of the Strip.

The Israeli army warned that “staying in that area has become dangerous,” adding that residents are being warned in advance to avoid harming civilians and to keep them away from the combat zone.
