Israel orders forced evacuation in central Gaza's Burej

The Israeli military has issued a forced evacuation order concerning several neighbourhoods in central Gaza’s Bureij refugee camp.

Avichay Adraee, an Israeli army Arabic-language spokesman, published a map of the zones that must be cleared, claiming that rockets were fired at Israel from this area and the Israeli forces had to respond.

“For your own safety, move immediately to the humanitarian zone,” he said.

Local and international organisations say there are no safe zones in the Gaza Strip.
