GAZA, March 21, 2025 (WAFA) – The Israeli occupation issued new evacuation orders on Friday, instructing civilians in northern Gaza to immediately relocate to the southern part of the Strip.

The orders targeted the areas of Al-Salateen, Al-Karama, and Al-Awda in northern Gaza and were accompanied by threats from the occupation to bomb these locations.

Israeli army minister, Israel Katz, announced that he had directed his forces to seize new areas in Gaza, forcibly displacing Palestinians and expanding the so-called "buffer zones" around these territories under the pretext of "protecting Israeli communities."

Katz further threatened to occupy more land in Gaza and intensify military aggression until all Israeli captives are released.

In the early hours of last Tuesday, the Israeli occupation resumed its genocide in the Gaza Strip, killing nearly 600 civilians and injuring over 1,000 by Thursday evening, 70% of whom were children, women, and the elderly.

The occupation expanded its aggression through a ground incursion into the Al-Shuhada Junction area, advancing toward Salah al-Din Street, which connects northern and southern Gaza. Additionally, the invasion extended to Al-Shaboura refugee camp in the city of Rafah in southern Gaza, as well as the northwestern area of Beit Lahia in the northern part of the Strip.

Since October 7, 2023, the occupation has been carrying out relentless genocide in Gaza, resulting in more than 162,000 civilians killed and wounded, the majority of whom are children and women, in addition to over 14,000 missing persons.
