Israel urges people who are in nine areas in the city of Khan Yunis in Gaza to evacuate. The military is expanding its operations, writes spokesperson Avichay Adraee on X.
"Against the background of terrorist activity in the area, the IDF is expanding its operations with ground forces and intense and sudden gunfire," he writes.
The evacuation order comes at the same time as talks about a ceasefire between Israel and terrorist-stamped Hamas are ongoing in Qatar's capital Doha.
