Israel announces evacuation in southern Gaza Strip

Israeli authorities have ordered the evacuation of the population in the southern Gaza Strip, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) announced on Wednesday.

“On 20 December, the Israeli military designated a new area covering about 20 per cent of central and south of Khan Younis city for immediate evacuation,” the department’s press service said in a statement. As noted by OCHA, there are 32 shelters in the territory designated by the Israeli military.

Earlier, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant said the ground operation in Gaza would expand to new areas, including Khan Younis, which the minister said had become the new capital of terror.

The Israel Defense Forces took the city of Seida in the West Bank by storm. Israeli troops broke into Seida in several motor vehicles and took up positions in the city center near a mosque.
