The IDF warned people to leave the “dangerous combat zone” in northern Gaza

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have issued a warning to the public in parts of the Beit Lahia area in northern Gaza.

Identifying several blocks from a map of Gaza, the IDF warned: “You are in a dangerous combat zone. The IDF will work with extreme force against the terrorist infrastructure and subversive elements in the region.”

The IDF called on residents to evacuate and “head to known shelters in Block No. 1770, 1766” in the west and south of the city.

“The most forgiven are those who warn,” the message ended.
It is unclear how many people will heed the warning, given the sporadic nature of electricity and connectivity in northern Gaza.

Reports from journalists in Gaza speak of artillery bombardment and airstrikes in the north and renewed airstrikes in Zeitoun in central Gaza.
