The Israeli military operation reportedly involves “all Palestinian civilians” being displaced from the northern city to camps in central Gaza.
News of the plan comes after Netanyahu said on Thursday that Israel will “take control of all of Gaza”.
The spectre of forced mass displacement from Gaza City follows after four more people died from starvation and malnutrition across the Strip – including two children – bringing the total number of victims from Israel’s man-made famine to 197.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 61,258 people and wounded 152,045. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023, attacks, and more than 200 were taken captive.
