FAMAGUSTA GAZETTE – The Israeli military has ordered Palestinians to evacuate areas in southwest Gaza, warning of imminent strikes in locations where Hamas operates.

“The IDF will strike with intense force in the areas where you are located. For your own safety, evacuate immediately west to Al-Mawasi,” the military said in a statement.

The evacuation order does not include Al-Amal Hospital, which remains operational.

The directive comes as Israel continues its military campaign against Hamas, with fighting concentrated in southern Gaza. Previous evacuation orders have led to mass displacement, with thousands of Palestinians relocating to designated humanitarian zones.
