Early this morning, the IDF said it expanded its ground operations in the northern Gaza Strip, with troops pushing into Gaza City’s eastern Shejaiya neighborhood, APA reports citing Times of Israel.
According to the military, the operations are aimed at expanding Israel’s buffer zone along the Gaza border.
The IDF says that so far, troops have killed several terror operatives and destroyed infrastructure, including a Hamas command center.
The military says it is enabling civilians to evacuate the area “for their safety.” It had issued evacuation warnings for Shejaiya yesterday.
