Israel Orders Palestinians to Leave Gaza City as Truce Talks Continue

The Israeli military ordered all Palestinians to leave Gaza City and head South, as it presses ahead with a fresh offensive across the North, South and Central area of the Gaza Strip that has killed dozens of people over the past days.
Leaflets dropped from the air on Wednesday urged “everyone in Gaza City” to leave and to take “safe routes” South towards Deir el-Balah and az-Zawayda, Al-Jazeera reported.Gaza’s Interior Ministry has called on residents in Gaza City to refrain from following Israeli evacuation orders, saying the instructions are a part of the Israeli army’s psychological warfare against Palestinians.The United Nations announced the latest evacuations “will only fuel mass suffering for Palestinian families, many of whom have been displaced many times”.“The civilians must be protected,” stated United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’s Spokesman, Stephane Dujarric.Israel issued the first formal evacuation order for part of the city on June 27, and two more in the following days.The latest evacuation order comes a day after an Israeli strike on Al-Awdah School killed at least 30 people and wounded more than 50 others, most of them women and children, according to Palestinian medics.
The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) wrote on X that two-thirds of the schools it administers in the Gaza Strip, which have served as shelters for displaced Palestinians since the war began, have been hit, killing 524 people.“UN structures, schools and shelters are not a target,” it added.At least 38,295 people have been killed and 88,250 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza since October, according to Palestinian officials.The stepped-up Israeli military activity comes as United States, Egyptian and Qatari mediators met with Israeli officials in Qatar’s capital, Doha, for negotiations seeking a long-elusive ceasefire deal and an exchange of captives held by Hamas for Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.Hamas officials have raised concerns that heavy Israeli raid in recent days along the length of the territory could derail the negotiations.Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, cautioned on Monday that Israel’s escalating assault has threatened talks at a crucial time and could bring negotiations “back to square one”.Hamas, however, still wants international mediators to guarantee that truce talks in Doha conclude with a permanent ceasefire. But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted he will not agree to a agreement forcing Israel to stop its campaign in the blockaded territory without eliminating Hamas.#Gaza#Israel

Of course schools are a target for israhelli occupation coward forces. They want total elimination because they are Nazi and terrorists, and most of the world only watch with a careface.
