The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have issued an immediate evacuation notice to residents in specific areas of the Gaza Strip, designating them as dangerous combat zones. The affected neighborhoods include Beit Hanoun, Khirbet Khazaa, and Abasan. Residents are urged to evacuate promptly to designated shelters in western Gaza City and Khan Younis to ensure their safety.

This evacuation order follows a significant escalation in hostilities, with the IDF launching extensive airstrikes across Gaza, effectively ending the ceasefire that had been in place since January 2025. These strikes have resulted in substantial casualties and widespread destruction.

The international community has expressed deep concern over the renewed violence. The European Union, Egypt, Turkey, and other nations have condemned the Israeli airstrikes, calling for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further escalation and to protect civilian lives.
