Salim Ayoub, a 65-year-old from Gaza tells Middle East Eye that “what is happening now is a repeat of what happened in 1948.”
“I sat down and discussed this with my children, and we have decided not to leave. We will not be leaving north Gaza and going to the south because we do not want to be made homeless again,” he added.
Israel has given Palestinians in north Gaza 24 hours to forcibly leave their homes with no guarantee of their return.
Palestinians say they refuse to leave and give up their land, regardless of what happens.
