Israel demands the complete evacuation of Rafah city

إسرائيل تخطط لبناء مطار دولي جديد قرب غزة

The Israeli army called on Monday for the evacuation of the entire city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. The order was issued today after Israel ended its ceasefire and resumed air and ground operations against Hamas earlier this month.

Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee said via Twitter: "To all residents of the Gaza Strip present in the areas of Rafah, the municipalities of al-Nasr and al-Shawka, the eastern and western regional areas, and the neighborhoods of al-Salam, al-Manara, and Qizan al-Najjar," noting that the Israeli army is returning to fighting with great force to eliminate Hamas's capabilities in these areas.

The warning was accompanied by a detailed map of the areas it called for evacuation, adding: "You must move immediately to the shelters in al-Mawasi."

Furthermore, the Civil Defense in Gaza reported that the death toll among Palestinians due to Israeli airstrikes had risen to 80, with 500 others injured in the space of 24 hours.

Meanwhile, Al Arabiya and Al Hadath correspondents reported a massive explosion resulting from the Israeli army's demolition of buildings near the Netzarim axis south of Gaza City, and other operations west of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip.

Al Arabiya and Al Hadath correspondents reported that the Israeli army bombed a residential area in the Sultan neighborhood west of Rafah, in addition to other violent raids and demolition operations carried out by Israeli forces on residential homes in various areas of the Gaza Strip, using highly accurate missiles believed to be used for the first time since the beginning of the war.

Medical sources in Gaza stated that the bodies of the paramedics who had been missing for days were recovered from the Tal al-Sultan area in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. The bodies were bound and thrown into a deep hole.
