The Israeli army has called for the evacuation of some areas in the southern Gaza Strip due to ongoing rocket attacks by Palestinian militants. This is the first evacuation call in weeks, as the military had shifted its focus to the north. The military spokesperson urged residents to move to a designated humanitarian zone for their safety. Earlier, the Israeli air force intercepted a projectile that crossed into Israeli territory from Khan Yunis, with Hamas's armed wing claiming responsibility for firing rockets towards southern Israel.
