The Israel Defence Forces, IDF, has dropped leaflets over Beit Lahia in the Gaza Strip warning people who reside in the Hamas-controlled region to vacate their homes instantly and go to shelters.
The Gaza Strip, which is home to 2.3 million civilians, has been hit by approximately 6,000 bombs. These contain a total of 4,000 tonnes of explosives.
The leaflet, which was dropped from planes, reads, “For your safety, you must leave your homes immediately and go to shelters.
“The IDF is not interested in harming you or your family members. Anyone who is near Hamas terrorists or terrorist targets will put their lives in danger.
“Don’t return to your homes until further notice from the Israeli Defence Forces. Leave all public and known shelters in the city of Gaza.
“Do not approach from the security wall, and whoever does so is risking their lives.”
