The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have issued a warning to residents in parts of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, cautioning them about being in a dangerous combat zone. The IDF has identified specific blocks on its map of Gaza and stated that they will use extreme force against terrorist infrastructure and subversive elements in the region.
Residents have been urged to evacuate and seek shelter in known safe locations such as Blocks No. 1770 and 1766 in the west and south of the city. The IDF emphasized the importance of heeding the warning and taking necessary precautions for safety.
Due to the limited access to electricity and connectivity in northern Gaza, it remains uncertain how many people will receive the warning. The sporadic nature of these essential services poses challenges in effectively reaching all residents in the area.
Reports from journalists in Gaza have indicated ongoing artillery bombardments and air strikes in the northern region, along with renewed airstrikes in Zeitoun in central Gaza. The situation remains tense, with the IDF maintaining a heightened state of alertness and readiness to respond to threats in the area.
