Israel Orders Evacuations as Strikes Pound Gaza City Israel has ordered residents in eastern Gaza City to evacuate as heavy strikes pound the area, causing multiple casualties. The situation has escalated, with people describing frantic efforts to escape amidst explosions in the Shajaiye neighborhood. Reports indicate that the Israeli military has been conducting strikes in the area, targeting Hamas members who are believed to be regaining control in Shajaiye. The conflict in Gaza continues to intensify, despite promises from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the war would soon enter a less intense phase. Health authorities in Gaza have confirmed 15 fatalities and dozens of injuries in Shajaiye, with Civil Defense reporting that five homes were struck in the neighborhood. The toll of casualties remains unverified due to the ongoing hostilities, and distinctions between civilians and combatants are not made in the reporting. Eyewitnesses, including Mohammed Qraiqea from the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, have reported ongoing artillery shelling, airstrikes, and drone attacks in the area. The witness mentioned that Israeli tanks have advanced to the outskirts of the neighborhood, leading to the mass evacuation of residents. The situation in Shajaiye is complex, as it is one of Gaza City's largest neighborhoods and houses a significant Hamas presence. Hamas has strategically utilized urban areas for their fighters and weapons, endangering civilian lives by operating within residential zones. The history of intense fighting in Shajaiye dates back to earlier stages of the conflict, with significant casualties reported on both sides. Residents who had returned to the area after Israeli forces shifted their focus to southern Gaza are once again forced to flee due to the latest round of strikes. Mohammad al-Bahrawi, a resident who had recently returned to Shajaiye, expressed shock at the scale of the evacuation as explosions echoed through the neighborhood. Al-Bahrawi, like many others, sought shelter at the Ahli Arab Hospital, hoping for safety amidst the chaos. As the conflict in Gaza shows no signs of abating, the humanitarian crisis continues to worsen, with innocent civilians caught in the crossfire of the ongoing hostilities. The need for a sustainable solution to the violence remains paramount, as the toll on human lives continues to rise in the region.
