Evacuation orders on leaflets distributed on Sunday told civilians to leave northernmost parts of Gaza immediately. The tight siege of the three towns and a series of evacuation orders has raised widespread concerns that Israel intends to force civilian populations to leave the northernmost parts of Gaza and will not permit their return. Humanitarian conditions there are described as “apocalyptic” by aidworkers, with very limited food, water, medicine and communications.
The latest strikes in Lebanon came as Israel’s media reported that Israeli troops had advanced as far as three miles from the contested border. In a statement, the Israeli military said the attacks were “intelligence-based” and targeted Hezbollah command centres and infrastructure.
