The Israeli military has issued fresh evacuation orders targeting residents in an eastern Gaza City suburb, triggering new displacement movements. According to Palestinian medics, the director of a Gaza hospital suffered injuries in an Israeli drone attack.
The orders pertain to the Shejaia suburb, an area from which Palestinian militants reportedly fired rockets. The military's directive urged residents to move south for safety. Footage on social media displayed residents evacuating by donkey carts and on foot, contributing to the ongoing waves of displacement that have plagued the region for over 13 months.
In central Gaza, Israeli airstrikes have resulted in at least 10 Palestinian fatalities. The conflict's toll on public infrastructure and the civilian population remains severe, with thousands displaced and widespread damage reported. Israel contends that militants use civilian spaces for cover, while Hamas accuses Israel of targeting populated areas indiscriminately.
