The Israeli army urged Gazans to evacuate areas near the border, after it unleashed a wave of deadly overnight strikes, the most intense since a ceasefire began in January, AFP reports.

In a post on X, Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee issued a warning to residents “specifically in the neighbourhoods of Beit Hanoun, Khirbet Khuza’a, Abasan al-Kabira and Al-Jadida”.

“These designated areas are considered dangerous combat zones… For your own safety, you must evacuate immediately to the known shelters in western Gaza City and those in Khan Yunis,” the post said.
