Israel’s military spokesperson Daniel Hagari said the army will evacuate all Israelis living close to the Gaza Strip within 24 hours as thousands of Israeli soldiers are deployed to fight Palestinian fighters in Israel.
“Our mission for the upcoming 24 hours is to evacuate all residents living around Gaza,” Hagari told reporters, adding that fighting was still ongoing to “rescue hostages” held by Palestinians in Israel.
“There are tens of thousands of combat soldiers in the area. We’ll reach each and every community till we kill every terrorist in Israel.”
