The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) published a message on social media on Sunday telling Palestinians in several neighborhoods of Khan Younis to leave for their "safety and security" as the IDF has "resumed its strong action against Hamas and other terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip."
The IDF reminded Palestinian civilians that it issued a map dividing Gaza into areas "in an effort to help you, in the next stages of the war, to understand and understand the directives issued and to move from specific locations precisely if necessary." They called on Palestinians to inform the IDF if Hamas members prevent them from fleeing.
