JERUSALEM, May 14 (Xinhua) -- The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) issued a warning on Wednesday evening, urging the immediate evacuation of the Al-Rimal neighborhood, west of Gaza City, ahead of an Israeli strike.
The places under the warning include schools and hospital compounds, according to a map attached to the warning published by IDF Arabic-language spokesperson Avichay Adraee on social media platform X.
Adraee claimed that Hamas is exploiting these civilian areas for "terrorist activities," adding that the IDF will attack the areas with great force.
The evacuation order comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Tuesday that the Israeli military will enter Gaza "with full force" in the coming days to press forward with efforts to defeat Hamas. ■
