IDF spokesperson: Due to numerous acts of terrorism and the firing of rockets at the State of Israel from the southern neighborhoods of Khan Yunis, staying in this area has become dangerous for civilians.
Therefore, at this time the safe-area will be adjusted. The adjustment is in relation to accurate intelligence information according to which the terrorist organization Hamas has located terrorist infrastructures in an area previously defined by the IDF as a humanitarian space.
The early warning is carried out in order to reduce the damage to the civilian population and keep them away from the combat area.
The IDF is going to act strongly against the terrorist organizations, and therefore calls on the remaining population in the southern neighborhoods of Khan Yunis to temporarily evacuate to the adapted humanitarian space in Mawasi.
The evacuation operations are carried out through SMS messages, recorded voice messages, phone calls, Arabic media broadcasts and announcements.
The IDF will continue to act against the terrorist organization Hamas, which uses the residents of Gaza as human shields for its terrorist activities and infrastructure.
