Gaza city: The Israeli occupation army issued military orders on Tuesday to immediately evacuate residents of Gaza City, north of the Gaza Strip, and head south via the Rashid corridor. The army announced its intention to launch "large-scale" military operations in the area, a move that raises concerns of widespread displacement.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, this development coincided with continued artillery shelling of specific areas in the Gaza Strip. Israeli artillery targeted the center of Khan Yunis, located in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, at dawn today.
Additionally, Israeli drones opened fire on civilian homes, while Israeli forces continued to bomb residential areas and homes in northern and central Gaza, resulting in extensive destruction in the targeted neighborhoods.
In a related development, reports indicate that a number of citizens were injured due to Israeli airstrikes on an apartment building near the al-Qawqa roundabout in the al-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City.
