The IDF now has complete freedom of action, but must report to the political leadership, state radio station Kan reported.
On October 8, the Israeli army conducts a large-scale evacuation of residents in the vicinity of Gaza. These are settlements adjacent to the demarcation line between Israel and Gaza. These are the settlements of Urim, Bari, Nahal Oz, Nativ Hatara and Zikim.
As a result of a rapid assessment of the situation, residents were asked to evacuate their homes, the army said in a statement on the X website.
The statement said additional evacuations would be carried out after further assessment of the situation.
Earlier, the Israeli military said that all residents of cities located near Gaza would be evacuated within 24 hours.
There were also reports of new militant forces breaking into Israel. According to Israeli media reports, additional forces of Palestinian militants have entered the city of Magen in the south of the country, and serious fighting with the use of tanks continues in the area.
Meanwhile, the spokesman for Hamas’s military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, issued a new statement calling on everyone to “join this battle.”
A few hours ago, the Al-Qassam Brigades announced in their telegram channel that they “carried out a large missile attack on the village of Sderot, firing one hundred rockets.”
Let us remind you that Hamas militants attacked Israel on the morning of October 7. They fired about three thousand rockets and broke into the border areas, engaging in battle with the Israeli military. The militants were also taken hostage. The Israeli army began launching massive attacks on the Gaza Strip.
