Israel Defence Forces spokesperson Johnathan Conricus confirmed that the Gaza residents have been asked to move south as Hamas terrorists were using them as human shields.
The Israeli Army earlier ordered the evacuation of all civilians living in Gaza City and in the north of the Gaza Strip ahead of a feared ground offensive on the besieged enclave.
The IDF shared that the members of its elite Flotilla 13 unit killed 60+ Hamas terrorists, including Muhammad Abu Aali, the Deputy Commander of the Hamas Southern Naval Division.
