The Israeli military on Saturday reissued its call for Palestinians to evacuate the northern Gaza Strip amid Israel’s ongoing military operation.
“For your immediate safety, we urge all residents of northern Gaza and Gaza City to temporarily relocate south,” spokesman Daniel Hagari said.
“The impending IDF operation is set to neutralize the threat of Hamas with precision and intensity.”
Israeli troops remained in the field and were “continuing the war,” officials said earlier Saturday, without further elaborating. Hamas pledged to confront any attacks with “full force.”
Israel, which sent its troops in on Friday, had perviously only made brief attacks into Gaza.
