Israel orders all remaining Palestinians to leave Gaza City

The Israeli government has issued an order for all Palestinians still in Gaza City to leave immediately.

Defence Minister Israel Katz warned it was their “last opportunity” to evacuate, adding that anyone who remained would be treated as a militant supporter and face the “full force” of Israel’s latest assault.

Since Israel began its push to seize Gaza City last month, around 400,000 Palestinians have fled. Yet, according to the Associated Press, hundreds of thousands more remain trapped — many unable to afford the journey south or too weak to leave famine-hit areas.

Katz repeated his warning in a post on X on Wednesday.
