Israel ordered more evacuations amid its war with Hamas on Thursday, raising fears the war could become more widespread.
The Israeli military issued evacuation orders overnight for towns in southern Gaza — where thousands of civilians have already fled to escape the airstrikes. More than 1.5 million residents in Gaza have been internally displaced due to the war, which was prompted by the Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel that left more than 1,200 people dead.
The Associated Press reported leaflets were dropped overnight in areas east of the southern town of Khan Younis, warning that anyone who remains in the path of military operations is putting their life “in danger.”
Israel dropped similar leaflets in northern Gaza in the weeks ahead of its ground incursion into the territory.
