The Israeli occupation army issued immediate evacuation orders on Tuesday for several areas in Gaza, including Beit Hanoun in the north and Khirbet Khuza’a, Abasan al-Kabira, and Abasan al-Jadida in the south, in preparation for a “major attack.” These areas have been declared “dangerous combat zones.”

The announcement was made in a statement by Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee, shared on the X platform, accompanied by a map highlighting the evacuation zones. Adraee stated: “Warning to all residents of Gaza located in the areas marked in red, specifically in the neighborhoods of Beit Hanoun, Khirbet Khuza’a, Abasan al-Kabira, and Abasan al-Jadida.”

This escalation comes amid heavy bombardment of the Gaza Strip. According to the Gaza Government Media Office, the Israeli assault has resulted in the deaths of more than 322 Palestinians, including entire families, and dozens of injuries within just five hours. Rescue teams continue to search for victims trapped under the rubble.
