Israeli army calls on all Gaza residents to leave the city
On Tuesday, the army announced that it was continuing its "Anti-Terror Operations" against Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets in Gaza. Residents reported "explosions and numerous gunfights" as well as helicopter attacks on southern neighborhoods. According to the armed wing of the Hamas ruling authority in the Gaza Strip, the fighting were "the most intense in months."
The conflict in the Gaza Strip was triggered by a unprecedented attack by Hamas fighters and other militant Palestinian groups on Israel on October 7. According to Israeli reports, 1195 people were killed and 251 were taken hostage in the Gaza Strip. In response to the attack, Israel has been conducting massive military operations in the Gaza Strip since then.
- Despite the intense fighting between the Israeli Army and Hamas in Gaza, some inhabitants chose to abandon their homes in the city.
- The Israeli Army's ongoing "Anti-Terror Operations" in Gaza targeted not only Hamas and Islamic Jihad but also their infrastructure within the Gaza Strip.
- The residents of Gaza, living under the constant threat of Israeli military operations, expressed fear of further abandoning their city due to the continued unrest.
- Following the Hamas-led attack on Israel, the Israeli Army showed no signs of abandoning its operations in the Gaza Strip, aiming to maintain peace and security in the region.
