Israel Issues Evacuation Order for Southern Gaza
Briefly

The Israeli military issued an evacuation order for the southern Gaza Strip, particularly affecting Rafah during Eid al-Fitr. This reconfirmation of military operations follows a collapsed cease-fire, as Israel re-engages with significant force against Hamas. Many residents in Rafah, which has suffered heavy damage from the ongoing war, are uncertain about evacuating. The continued fighting has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis, forcing Palestinians into overcrowded shelters, illustrating the dire consequences of the conflict as military actions intensify once more.
Avichay Adraee commented on the military's intent to intensify efforts against Hamas: 'Israel's military is returning to fighting with great force to take out the capabilities of terrorist organizations in these areas.'
The situation has led to immense suffering for civilians, as the war has displaced many, forcing them into crowded makeshift shelters alongside strangers after the instructions to evacuate were often disregarded.
