Israel yesterday called for Palestinians in nine areas of Gaza's southern city of Rafah to evacuate and head to what it calls an expanded humanitarian area in Al--Mawasi, in a further indication that the military is pressing ahead with plans for a ground attack on Rafah, the USA Today website reports today (May 12, 2024).
In a post on social media site X, a military spokesperson also called on residents and displaced people in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza, and 11 other neighborhoosds in the enclave to go immediately to places wst of Gaza City.
The Palestinian health ministry said at least 37 Palestinians, 24 of them from central Gaza areas, were killed in overnight airstrikes across the enclave, including in Rafah.
