Israeli Occupation army has issued new evacuation orders for residents in several neighborhoods of the Gaza Strip.

In a statement on Sunday, the army identified the targeted areas as "Joret Al-Lout, Al-Manara, Ma’an, Qizan Al-Najjar, Qizan Abu Rishwan, Al-Salam, and Al-Hashash." 

Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) demanded that Gazans evacuate these areas immediately and move to designated humanitarian zones.

This comes as the Israeli Occupation assault on Gaza enters its 303rd day, with continued intense bombing across various parts of the Strip. The ongoing attacks have resulted in the deaths of 39,583 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and have injured 91,398 others.

On October 7, Hamas' military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, launched Operation Aqsa Typhoon in response to Israeli Occupation violations in the occupied Palestinian territories. In retaliation, Israeli Occupation initiated a military operation named "Iron Swords," launching a series of violent airstrikes on Gaza that have caused hundreds of deaths, thousands of injuries, and widespread destruction of residential buildings, infrastructure, and institutions.

Since October 7, the number of those killed from the IOF has risen to 689, with 329 deaths occurring since the ground operation began on October 27. Additionally, 4,252 Israeli Occupation soldiers have been wounded, with 630 in critical condition, 1,066 sustaining moderate injuries, and 2,556 with minor injuries.
