IDF spokesperson in Arabic, Lieutenant Colonel Avichay Adraee, published a "severe warning" to residents in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. "The IDF is operating with great force in the area and will attack any area used for launching rockets toward the State of Israel," Adraee stated, after two missiles fired from the city toward Kibbutz Kissufim were intercepted yesterday. He called: "For your safety, evacuate immediately westward and avoid returning to dangerous combat zones. Terrorist organizations are bringing disaster upon you."
