Israeli Forces Ready for Entry Into Gaza District as Hundreds of Thousands Heed Order To Evacuate Northern Half of the Territory
Gaza City is leafletted in an effort by Israel to warn residents to move south and out of harm’s way.

Hundreds of thousands of Gaza residents sought to heed Israel’s order to evacuate roughly the northern half of the territory, while others huddled at hospitals in the north on Sunday. Gaza’s 2.3 million civilians faced a deepening struggle for food, water, and safety, and braced for a looming invasion more than a week after Hamas terrorists launched a deadly assault on Israel.
Israeli forces, supported by a growing deployment of American warships in the region, positioned themselves along Gaza’s border and drilled for what Israel said would be a campaign by air, land, and sea to dismantle the militant group.
