Israel orders evacuation from part of Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah

Israel has expanded its military operations in the Gaza Strip, targeting key locations and issuing evacuation orders in the southern city of Rafah.

Over the weekend, the Israel Defense Forces intensified its offensive in Gaza, focusing on the southern city of Rafah.

The IDF on Sunday issued immediate evacuation orders for residents in the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood, designating it a "dangerous combat zone."

Thousands of Palestinians fled their homes, adding to the substantial number of displaced people in the region.

Also on Sunday, Israeli airstrikes targeted the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, the largest medical facility in southern Gaza, resulting in the deaths of at least five individuals, including a senior Hamas political bureau member.

Another senior member of the Hamas political bureau and his wife have also been killed in a strike in Al-Mawasi.
