\nThousands of Palestinians have been ordered by the Israeli forces to flee parts of northern Gaza as indiscriminate air strikes have killed at least 115 people in the territory.
\nPalestinians in northern Gaza\u2019s Beit Lahiya area fled their homes with essential belongings on Friday, after intense Israeli air strikes hit the area.
\nMore than 19,000 Palestinians have been displaced in Gaza since Thursday afternoon, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM). \u201cMany with nothing but the clothes on their backs,\u201d the organisation said in a post on X. \u201cNowhere is safe in Gaza.\u201d
\nNearly all of Gaza\u2019s population has been displaced at some point during the genocide, with several forced to flee many times over. Israel has increasingly issued forced displacement orders as it escalates its attacks in the enclave.
\nIn a statement in Arabic on Saturday, the Israeli military said it has launched the \u201cinitial stages\u201d of what it calls Operation Gideon\u2019s Chariots, a new offensive for \u201cthe expansion of the battle in the Gaza Strip, with the goal of achieving all the war\u2019s objectives, including the release of the abducted and the defeat of Hamas\u201d.
\nA separate statement in English said the army was \u201cmobilising troops to achieve operational control in areas of the Gaza Strip\u201d.
\nIsrael has killed at least 115 Palestinians in Gaza since dawn on Friday as it intensifies bombardment of the enclave amid widespread forced starvation. More than 100 other Palestinians were killed on Thursday in similar attacks.
\nSince October 2023, Israel has killed at least 53,119 Palestinians and wounded 120,214 others, according to Gaza\u2019s Ministry of Health. The enclave\u2019s Government Media Office updated the death toll to more than 61,700, saying thousands of people missing under the rubble are presumed dead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
