The Israeli military has issued an evacuation order for residents of parts of Gaza City ahead of an attack, as it presses an intensified campaign in the battered Palestinian territory, AFP reports.

“This is a final and urgent warning ahead of an impending strike,” army spokesman Avichay Adraee said.

The army “will strike all areas from which rockets are launched.”

The evacuation order comes at the beginning of the Eidul Azha holiday.
