“Residents of Gaza City and northern Gaza, in the past days, we’ve urged you to relocate to the southern area for your safety,” the Israeli military said on Sunday in a post on X (former Twitter). We would like to inform you that the IDF will not conduct any activities along this road between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Please take advantage of this window to travel south from northern Gaza.

It is critical for your and your families’ protection. Please follow our directions and proceed south. Be assured that Hamas leaders have already safeguarded their and their families’ safety.”
The military stated on Sunday that it will not target a single road south from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., urging Palestinians to evacuate the north in large numbers. The military had previously promised two routes and a longer window.

The Israeli military also stated that it would continue to allow Palestinian people fleeing fighting in the Gaza Strip to migrate southward within the enclave, saying that hundreds of thousands had previously done so.
Israeli forces positioned themselves around Gaza’s border and prepared for what Israel said would be a comprehensive effort to demolish the militant group, backed up by a rising presence of US warships in the vicinity.

A week of devastating airstrikes has destroyed entire neighbourhoods but has not stopped insurgent rocket launching into Israel.
According to the Gaza Health Ministry, 2,329 Palestinians have been killed since the fighting began, which is higher than in the previous six-week Gaza conflict.
As a result, this is the bloodiest of the five Gaza conflicts for both sides. Over 1,300 Israelis have been murdered, the vast majority of whom were civilians, in Hamas’s October 7 attack.
This is Israel’s bloodiest war since the battle with Egypt and Syria in 1973.
Israel dropped leaflets over Gaza City in the north and issued additional social media threats, urging more than one million Palestinians β about half the territory’s population β to flee to the south.
Hamas asked citizens to remain at home.
According to the UN and aid organisations, such a quick departure, along with Israel’s complete siege of the 40-kilometer-long (25-mile-long) coastal region, would result in untold human suffering.
The evacuation “could be tantamount to a death sentence” for the more than 2,000 patients in northern hospitals, including newborns in incubators and people in intensive care, according to the World Health Organisation.
According to the UN, Gaza’s hospitals are anticipated to run out of generator fuel within two days, endangering the lives of thousands of patients.
Gaza was already in a humanitarian crisis as a result of the Israeli embargo, which has caused a severe lack of water and medical supplies and forced the enclave’s sole power plant to shut down.
Residents reported being unable to buy bread due to the closure of several bakeries.
Haifa Khamis al-Shurafa of Gaza City crammed into a car with six family members and fled to the south in the night. “We don’t deserve this,” Shurafa stated as she prepared to leave her hometown. “We didn’t kill anyone.”
According to the Israeli military, “hundreds of thousands” of Palestinians followed the warning and fled south.
The US has been attempting to broker an agreement to restore Egypt’s Rafah connection with Gaza, allowing Americans and other foreigners to depart and humanitarian aid to be sent in from the Egyptian side.
The crossing has yet to reopen after being closed due to airstrikes early in the war.
Meanwhile, hundreds of families of the estimated 150 victims kidnapped and brought to Gaza by Hamas gathered outside the Israeli Defence Ministry in Tel Aviv, demanding their release. Click here!
