The Israeli Army said to evacuate the southern part of Gaza and the center of Gaza on Friday, which had previously been designated as a humanitarian security zone and stated that the area was used by Hamas as a shooting and missile.
The latest evacuation warnings came as negotiators in Doha were due to meet for a second day of talks aimed at reaching a deal to halt the fighting in Gaza and bring Israeli and foreign hostages home.
“The warning to civilians is being issued to mitigate harm to the civilian population and to enable civilians to move away from the combat zone,” the military said in a statement.
Earlier the military said it had hit an area in Khan Younis from where rockets were fired toward the community of Kissufim on Thursday, finding weapons including shoulder-fired missiles and explosives.

Most of Gaza’s 2.3 million population has been displaced multiple times since the start of the Israeli campaign in Gaza, launched following the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7. Even in the areas designated as humanitarian safe zones there have been regular reports of casualties from Israeli strikes.
