The Israeli military (IDF) has announced significant changes to the humanitarian zone in Gaza amid ongoing conflict with Hamas. This decision comes after intelligence indicated that Hamas has integrated its terrorist infrastructure within the designated humanitarian areas. The IDF is urging civilians in the al-Jalaa neighborhood to evacuate to the newly established humanitarian zone as military operations are set to commence against terrorist organizations in the region. Appeals to the local population are being disseminated through various channels, including leaflets, phone calls, and television broadcasts.
In a related development, the IDF and Shin Bet forces successfully executed an operation targeting a military headquarters located within the Al-Taba'in school complex, which was being used by Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives. The operation reportedly resulted in the deaths of at least 19 terrorist members. The White House has expressed concern over civilian casualties during these military actions and has urged Israel to take measures to minimize harm to innocent lives. Despite the precision of the weapons used in the attack, questions remain regarding the extent of the damage and the reported casualty figures, highlighting the complexities of urban warfare in densely populated areas.
