Avichay Adraee is calling on Gaza City residents to evacuate to the humanitarian area in Khan Younis due to the expansion of military operations in the region as part of the "Gideon's Chariots B" operation. The IDF detailed that the area "includes vital humanitarian infrastructure such as field hospitals, water lines and desalination facilities, alongside the continued supply of food, tents, medicines and medical equipment that will be brought in through coordination between COGAT and the international community."
