The Re-Adjustment of the Al-Mawasi Humanitarian Area
IDF Press Release

IDF
Due to significant terrorist activity and rocket fire toward the State of Israel from the eastern part of the Humanitarian Area in the Gaza Strip, remaining in this area has become dangerous. Accordingly, at this time, the Humanitarian Area will be adjusted. The adjustment is being carried out in accordance with precise intelligence indicating that Hamas has embedded terrorist infrastructure in the area defined as the Humanitarian Area.
Several projectiles were launched by the Hamas terrorist organization from the area of Maghazi in central Gaza toward Israel. The projectiles did not cross into Israeli territory and fell inside Gaza. One of the projectiles fell and hit a school in the area of Nuseirat. Hamas' rocket fire continues to endanger both Israeli and Gazan civilians alike.
The early warning to civilians is being made in order to mitigate harm to the civilian population and keep civilians away from areas of combat.
The IDF is about to forcefully operate against the terrorist organizations and therefore calls on the remaining population left in the eastern neighborhoods of Khan Yunis to temporarily evacuate to the adjusted Humanitarian Area in Al-Mawasi.
The calls for the temporary evacuation are being communicated to residents through SMS messages, phone calls and media broadcasts in Arabic.
The IDF will continue to act against the Hamas terrorist organization, which uses the Gazan civilians as a human shield for its terrorist activities and infrastructure.
