Israel calls up people in the north of Gaza to evacuation

The Israeli army has called on the civilian population in several areas in the north of the Gaza Strip to immediately evacuate. “Terroristic organizations carry out sabotage activities in the fields and therefore the army will expand its offensive activities there to destroy the skills of the terrorist organizations,” wrote a military spokesman on the platform X.

The areas are now “dangerous fighting zones,” it said. According to the army spokes, people should go west. In the post office, the intended area of ​​attack and the areas in which people are supposed to go were marked with the help of a graphic.

Israel has been fighting against the Hamas terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023 on October 7, 2023 on October 7, 2023. Almost two weeks ago, the army started a new major offensive in the coastal area. Dozens of deaths were reported every day. The declared goal of Israel is to completely smash the Hamas and to free the hostages that are still captured by extremists. There is international criticism of Israel’s approach.

A hospital in the north of the Gaza Strip, meanwhile, accused the Israeli army of undergoing a “forced vacuation”. Patients and medical staff would have to leave the al-AWDA hospital, it was the only clinic in the north of the Palestinian area, the facility said on Thursday. The Israeli army initially did not comment on the information on request.

According to the AL AWDA hospital, there were still 13 patients and 84 medical employees in the clinic. The Ministry of Health of the Gaza Strip, headed by the Islamist Hamas, said that the hospital was “in fact forced to operate” by the evacuation.

The UN Office for Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) also spoke of the current evacuation of patients and medical staff, the institution is “overloaded” and suffer from a “critical lack of material”. The hospital was damaged by fighting that access to him interrupted that people in need of treatment were deterred.

According to the White House, Israel had previously agreed to a new US proposal for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. President Donald Trump’s spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, said on Thursday that Israel “approved and supported” the plan. The conversations with the radical Islamic Hamas, on the other hand, continued. The Hamas confirmed that she tested the US proposal, but was rather skeptical.

Leavitt did not say exactly what the new plan provides. According to her, Trump and his special representative Steve Witkoff forwarded the proposal after the green light from Israel to Hamas. There was no information from Israel for the time being.

A high-ranking Hamas representative said on Thursday that the plan was lying behind the Palestinians’ demands. The Hamas continues to check the proposal, said Bassem Naim from Politburo of the Radical Islamic Organization. The answer from Israel means “the continuation of killing and hunger”.

Recently there had been no progress in the conversations about a ceasefire in the Gaza War. Israel had reinforced his attacks from March after a short break of fire and also blocked aid deliveries into the area for weeks. The humanitarian location in the Gaza Strip is catastrophic, international aid organizations and the UN warn of famine.

At the same time, Israeli hostages are still captured by Hamas and its Islamist allies in the Gaza Strip. Of the 251 delayed hostages, 57 are still suspected in the Gaza Strip, 34 of them are already dead according to the Israeli army. The Gaza war was triggered by the major attack of Islamist Hamas on October 7, 2023.
