Israel has issued an urgent evacuation warning to all Gaza City inhabitants in anticipation of a massive ground invasion.
Up to a million Palestinians residing in Gaza’s largest city were ordered to go south by the military’s Arabic spokesperson. “Remaining in the area is extremely dangerous,” he stated.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Monday that the recent airstrikes that damaged high-rise structures in Gaza City were “just the beginning of the main, intensive operation” to seize what he has called the final significant stronghold held by Hamas.
“Public demonstration of a fully-fledged crime of forced displacement” is what Hamas claimed his comments amounted to.
