Israeli army issues forced evacuation order for Gaza City
Avichay Adraee, an Israeli military spokesperson, issued a warning to residents of the Shujayea district and at least five other areas in the east of Gaza City, ordering them to displace to the west.
The Israeli military “is operating with great force in your areas to destroy terrorist infrastructure,” Adraee claimed in a post on X, showing a map with the areas to be evacuated marked in red.
Shujayea has been the focus of the Israeli army’s renewed offensive in the north of the Strip in recent days. In the past two days alone, at least 35 people were killed when Israeli jets levelled entire residential buildings to the ground, claiming to be targeting Hamas operatives.
Israeli army kills at least 13 in Gaza since dawn
Medical sources told Al Jazeera that at least 13 have been killed in Israeli raids on the Gaza Strip since dawn today. Here’s a breakdown:
- In the south, east of Khan Younis, at least 10 people were killed, including seven children, in an Israeli attack. Also in the enclave’s south, one Palestinian was killed and four others were wounded following an aerial attack on a group of civilians in Rafah.
- In central Gaza, Israeli drones struck a group of civilians in Deir el-Balah. A number of casualties were transferred to Al-Aqsa Hospital a short while ago.
- And in the north of the Strip, Al Jazeera’s correspondent said two people were killed and others injured in an Israeli bombardment in the al-Atatra area of Beit Lahiya. The injured were transferred to the Indonesian Hospital, where doctors described the condition of a number of them as critical.

Palestinians in Gaza are enduring the longest aid blockage since start of war: UNRWA
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) has posted a video on X in which it reiterated its call for a renewal of the ceasefire deal, abandoned by Israel last month.
The video contains the testimony of Umm Khaled from Gaza City’s Shujayea, who has been displaced five times during Israel’s war on the enclave. She said her family doesn’t have enough food and is forced to live in cramped conditions with barely enough space to sit down.
It is estimated that nearly 400,000 people have been displaced in #Gaza following the breakdown of the ceasefire. They are now also enduring by far the longest blockage of aid and commercial supplies since the start of the war.
