Senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri tells Reuters that Israel’s demand that civilians in parts of Rafah to evacuate ahead of an expected offensive is a “dangerous escalation that will have consequences”.
Earlier on Monday, the Israeli army began calling on Palestinians to evacuate the eastern neighbourhoods of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip that are close to the Israeli border.
