Israeli Army Issues New Evacuation Orders in North Gaza After Fresh Rocket Fire

The latest evacuation orders come after militants fired a volley of rockets into Israel. The affected districts include Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya, both of which have been largely demolished since the start of Israel’s ground invasion. In a message sent via text or social media, army spokesperson Avichay Adraee urged residents to evacuate immediately to known shelters in the center of Gaza City for their safety.
