IDF : “In recent hours, flyers were dropped calling on the residents of eastern Rafah to evacuate temporarily toward the expanded humanitarian area.”The Israel i military on Monday stated the evacuation of civilians from parts of Rafah, a move that might pave the way for an offensive on Hamas ’s last stronghold in Gaza.
The ongoing conflict, now in its 213th day, has prompted the Israeli Defense Forces to undertake targeted evacuation operations in specific areas of Rafah. It is estimated that approximately 100,000 people will be evacuated to facilitate further ground maneuvering in the region. In tandem with the evacuation efforts, the IDF is expanding the humanitarian zone in Al-Mawasi to accommodate the influx of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
“The IDF is expanding the humanitarian zone in Al-Mawasi and is calling on the population to temporarily evacuate from the eastern neighborhoods of Rafah to the expanded humanitarian space,” the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said in a statement, that was also conveyed to the Gazan population by an IDF spokesperson in Arabic.
