MK Amit Halevi (Likud) criticized the IDF's operations in Gaza City, claiming that the population evacuation is being carried out "at a very slow pace and without drainage routes or control, allowing terrorists to move freely to central camps." He added: "It's been more than three weeks since Operation Gideon B was approved, and the seven hospitals in northern Gaza have still not been evacuated, nor have the Christians around the church in Zeitoun, nor the international organizations." Halevi emphasized that "in war, you don't evacuate enemy populations with SMS messages and by bombing towers. This is very problematic behavior by the security establishment, which again demonstrates a misunderstanding of Gazan society and the actions needed in this war."
