Gaza City evacuation inevitable, Israeli army warns Palestinians

The Israeli army told the Palestinians that the evacuation of Gaza City is “inevitable”, as its forces are preparing to conquer it.

In a post at X on Wednesday, Arab Army spokesman Avichai Adri said that families moved to the south “will receive the most generous humanitarian aid.”

Witnesses said that the Israeli tanks pushed a new area in Gaza City overnight, forcing more residents to flee. Thousands have already moved due to the recent Israeli progress – most of them to other parts of the city, where about a million Palestinians are still living.

The evacuation call comes as US President Donald Trump is expected to head a meeting on the post -war vision of Gaza at the White House.

In early August, Israel announced plans to occupy the entire Gaza Strip – including Gaza City, which it described as the last Hamas stronghold.

United Nations and non -governmental organizations have warned that the Israeli attack in Gaza City will have a “horrific human impact.”

Late on Tuesday, tanks entered the Ibad Rahman area, on the northern suburbs of the city, and destroyed many houses, Reuters news agency reported.

“Suddenly, we heard that the tanks were pushed to the eternal of Rahman, the sounds of explosions became with a louder and higher voice, and we saw people fleeing towards our area,” Saad Abed told Reuters in a message from his home on Jala Street, about 1 km (0.6 miles).

On Wednesday, according to what was reported, the tanks retreated to Gabalia, which is a farther area north where they were working.

The bombing also continued to boycott the Gaza City in Gaza City, Zeton and Sabra.

The Israeli army said in a statement on Wednesday that its forces had been involved in the fighting in the Gabalia region and on the outskirts of Gaza City, adding that it had canceled a “terrorist cell” and located the weapons storage facility.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his intention to overcome the entire Gaza Strip after indirect talks with Hamas in the ceasefire and Horny last month.

But Netanyahu faces international and local pressure.

On Tuesday evening, tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered in Tel Aviv calling for a deal to fire on the remaining Israeli hostages that Hamas maintains. It is believed that only 20 of 50 hostages are alive.

In Washington on Tuesday, the US special envoy Steve Witkev said that the White House was working on a “very comprehensive plan” by Gaza.

He told Fox News that the “Next Day” plan will be discussed in a “major meeting in the White House” headed by Trump on Wednesday.

He did not provide any details, but he said that he expected the conflict in Gaza “in one way or another, and certainly before the end of this year.”

The Israeli army launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas -led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, where about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others took hostage.

Nearly 62,900 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the Hamas Ministry of Health.

Most of the people of Gaza were displaced several times; More than 90 % of homes are estimated at damage or destruction; Healthcare, water, sanitation and hygiene systems collapsed; Universal global food security experts have confirmed that there is a famine in the Gaza City region.
