The IDF is Publishing a List of Area Numbers to Guide Gazan Residents in Evacuating High Risk Areas
IDF Press Release
06.12.2023
Dear residents of Gaza, it is imperative you pay attention to the following map. Anyone who sees the area number which they live, or is near an area on the map, must track and follow the instructions of the IDF through various media outlets and obey them. This is the way to preserve your safety, your lives and the lives of your families.
Since the beginning of the war, Hamas has been using Gazan civilians as human shields and planting its headquarters and military infrastructure in their residential areas, hospitals, mosques and schools, turning civilian sites into military targets.
This violates international law and the rules of war, which explicitly state that civilians must not be used as human shields.
The IDF takes all possible precautions to avoid causing loss of civilian life or injury, adopting all available means. Therefore, it always sends messages to the residents of Gaza by asking them to evacuate the targeted areas that constitute the target of the army's activities.
