Israeli army issues forced evacuation order for building in Gaza City

Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee has issued a new evacuation order on social media, warning everyone to evacuate the Remal neighbourhood and the Port of Gaza. Adraee highlighted one tower, which he alleged is used by Hamas, as the target of an imminent attack.

He urged anyone inside the building to “immediately evacuate” and head towards the Israeli-described “safe zone” of al-Mawasi – an area in southern Gaza the military has continuously bombarded since the start of its war on the enclave.

Israel strikes another Gaza City tower as attacks continue

Israel’s military has attacked another Gaza high-rise building in besieged Gaza City. It was the seventh major tower hit by Israeli forces in recent weeks as they attempt to seize and control the Palestinian territory’s largest urban centre.

On Friday, the Israeli military ordered people in Mushtaha Tower, a 12-storey building on the western side of Gaza City and surrounded by hundreds of makeshift tents, to evacuate and later struck the building, claiming it was “Hamas infrastructure”.

Sources tell Al Jazeera that three recent Israeli attacks on Gaza have killed more than 20 Palestinians, as the death toll across the territory continues to mount.

Fifteen Palestinians were killed and others wounded in an attack on tents sheltering displaced people west of Gaza City, a source at al-Shifa Hospital said.

Elsewhere in the city, two Palestinians were killed and others wounded in an air attack on a high-rise building, following an order to evacuate, an Al Jazeera correspondent confirmed.

In southern Gaza, four people were killed in a drone attack in central Khan Younis, a source at the Nasser Medical Complex said.


Number of people killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza rises to 64,656

The Health Ministry in Gaza has just released its latest daily report on the casualties as a result of Israeli attacks across the besieged territory.

It said over the last 24-hour reporting period, the bodies of 41 people – including two recovered from earlier attacks – had been brought to hospitals in Gaza. Another 184 people were wounded, it added.

These figures bring the number of people killed in Israeli attacks since the start of the war to 64,656, with 163,503 wounded.
