DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel’s military told Gaza City residents on Tuesday to evacuate ahead of its planned offensive to take control of what it portrays as Hamas’ last remaining stronghold and where hundreds of thousands of people remain struggling under conditions of famine.
The warning came hours before Israel launched a strike targeting Hamas’ leaders in Qatar, intensifying its campaign against the militant group and endangering negotiations over ending the war in Gaza.
