Call to evacuate in Chan Yunis

Rafah completely surrounded
According to a spokesman, the city of Rafah is completely enclosed by the military.

Together with the Netzarim corridor further north, a three-division of the Gaza Strip is actually created. Defense Minister Israel Katz spoke of conquered areas that are supposed to serve as Israeli “security zones”.
