Palestinians forced to flee Gaza City in the dark
Videos verified by Al Jazeera’s Sanad agency show Palestinians fleeing parts of Gaza City after Israel’s army threatened that the Shujayea neighbourhood would become a “dangerous combat zone”.
One video showed a woman and her children using the lights from their phones to try to see as they fled the area on foot.
An “urgent warning” shared by Israeli spokesperson Avichay Adraee on social media telling Palestinians to leave the area was posted at about 6:30pm local time [16:30 GMT], about two hours after sunset.

Six Palestinians killed in Israeli attack on central Gaza
Israeli forces bombed a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp, killing at least six people and wounding three others, according to the Wafa news agency. The bombing on Saturday evening dismembered the bodies of the victims, the agency reported.
It came as medical sources said at least 38 people had been killed in Israeli attacks across the enclave since dawn on Saturday.

Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital wounded in the leg
The Palestinian Information Center has published images of Dr Hussam Abu Safia lying on a hospital stretcher as others wrapped a bandage around his thigh. The outlet said the doctor was wounded from shrapnel from a bomb dropped by an Israeli quadcopter while he was checking up on patients inside the hospital.
“My injury is an honour,” he was quoted as saying.
Earlier, we reported that successive Israeli attacks on the northern facility – one of two partially functioning hospitals in besieged northern Gaza – killed at least two people and wounded 12 medical staff on Saturday. The assaults also disrupted the electrical generator, oxygen supply network and water supply.
Israeli forces also raided the facility in October and detained nearly all the medical staff there. They told Abu Safia to evacuate the facility but he had refused. Later, Israeli forces killed the doctor’s son in a drone attack on the hospital – an assault he described as punishment for having refused to leave.
Translation: “My injury is an honour for me,” says Dr Hussam Abu Safia, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, after being injured in an Israeli drone strike on the hospital.
