IDF Calls for Evacuation of Khan Yunis as Conflict Intensifies

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have announced a strategic adjustment to the humanitarian zone in the Gaza Strip, particularly targeting the eastern part of Khan Yunis. This move comes in response to a series of rocket attacks launched from this zone against southern Israel in recent weeks. The IDF plans to evacuate the specified area due to the presence of Hamas terror infrastructure embedded within the civilian-populated zone.

According to IDF sources, the decision to modify the boundaries of the humanitarian zone is based on precise intelligence about Hamas’ activities in the area. Civilians residing in the eastern neighborhoods of Khan Yunis have been urged to relocate to a revised safe zone in al-Mawasi to avoid harm during military operations aimed at dismantling the embedded terror infrastructure.

The IDF claims that they have taken steps to communicate this urgent evacuation directive through various channels, including SMS messages, phone calls, and media broadcasts, ensuring that the civilian population is adequately informed and guided to safety.

Meanwhile, military operations continue in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, where intense battles between Israeli forces and Hamas-led fighters have escalated. The recent conflicts have centered around areas with significant civilian displacement, complicating the humanitarian situation.
