Israel’s Arabic-language spokesman has issued a new displacement order for Gaza’s southern Rafah, warning the military will soon “resume intense combat operations” there, Al Jazeera reports.

The spokesman, Avichay Adraee, said people in most of Rafah and the nearby areas of al-Nasr and al-Shawka, should immediately flee to al-Mawasi.

Israeli Army Radio described the order as the most “extensive evacuation since the resumption of fighting”.
