GAZA: Khan Yunis this morning after the attacks last night

The IDF issues evacuation warnings to Palestinians residing on the edges of the Gaza Strip, as the military overnight launched a surprise aerial bombing campaign against Hamas.

In a post on X, the IDF's Arabic-language spokesman, Col. Avichay Adraee, publishes a map of "dangerous combat zones" that Gazans should flee from. They include the towns of Beit Hanoun, Khuza'a, and the Abasan suburbs of Khan Younis.

"The IDF has launched a strong offensive against terror organizations. These designated areas are considered dangerous combat zones," he says.

"For your own safety, you must evacuate immediately to known shelters in western Gaza City and in Khan Younis," the post reads.

He warns that remaining in the areas marked on the map in red, "puts your lives and the lives of your family members in danger."
