Israel orders fresh mass displacement in eastern Gaza

Israel’s military is once again telling Palestinians in eastern Gaza to flee - or face the consequences.

For the second day in a row, Avichay Adraee, the army’s Arabic-language spokesperson, has ordered residents of Beit Hanoun, Khirbet Khuza’a, Abasan al-Kabira, and Abasan al-Jadida to leave immediately.

His message? Stay put, and you you will be killed. He’s directing them towards so-called shelters in western Gaza City and Khan Younis - though with Israel’s relentless bombardment, no place in Gaza is truly safe.
