The IDF distributed leaflets in the Old City of Gaza and the eastern neighborhoods of the city, as well as in Jabaliya and the Jabaliya refugee camp. In the leaflet published by the IDF spokesman in Arabic, Lieutenant Colonel Avichay Adraee, it was stated that "The IDF is operating with great force in the city center to eliminate terrorist organizations. Salah al-Din Road is closed, and the IDF is deployed in the area. Residents must evacuate immediately southwest to the humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi. Hamas is endangering your lives, and returning to the area will be considered a direct risk to life."
