Gaza: Israel Issues Forced Displacement Threat for Rafah Neighborhood After Resuming Assault
Gaza (Quds News Network)- The Israeli military has issued a forced displacement threat for Tal al-Sultan neighborhood in Rafah in southern Gaza amid intense and deadly airstrikes following the resumption of its brutal assault after nearly two months of fragile ceasefire. The army’s Arabic language spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, said that the residents of the Tal al-Sultan neighbourhood in Rafah should move immediately by foot toward the al-Mawasi area in the south of the enclave. He said Tel as-Sultan is “considered a dangerous combat zone” and that “movement in vehicles is prohibited”. The al-Mawasi "safe zone" in Khan Younis was heavily targeted by the Israeli military during the final months of the 15-month war. Many residents, who lost their homes, are still crowded into makeshift tents in the area. After resuming its genocide on March 18, Israel escalated its attacks on the region, targeting the tents and killing dozens. The Israeli attacks, which began in the early hours of Tuesday, have resulted in the killing over 630 civilians, the majority of whom are children, so far. Hundreds more have been injured, with many still missing under the rubble, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Israeli air force jets have been carrying out a series of attacks across Gaza, targeting multiple areas in the north, center, and south. Reports confirm intense bombardment of residential homes, schools, and tents housing displaced Palestinians.
