The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has repeatedly urged civilians inside northern Gaza to evacuate immediately as it prepares to start a ground offensive in response to more than 1,300 Israelis who were murdered by Palestinian terrorists with Hamas.
The IDF commonly warns civilians to exit buildings and neighborhoods where it is getting ready to conduct airstrikes, but now it is calling for a much larger evacuation.
“The IDF is calling for the people of Gaza to evacuate to southern Gaza for their safety,” an IDF spokesperson said in a video. “We have a responsibility to protect our people and make sure this thing never happens again.”
