Details: According to Hagari, Gazans are increasingly moving to the south of the enclave. He claims that 50 thousand people have fled the Gaza City area.

Hagari’s direct speech: “Gazans understand that Hamas has lost control of the north of the Gaza Strip, and the south is safer, and there they can have water, food and medicine.”

What happened before: The Israeli military said it had completely surrounded Gaza City and divided the coastal enclave in half.

Background:

On October 31, the IDF announced that it had begun combat with Hamas in the underground tunnels of the Gaza Strip. On November 2, the Israel Defense Forces said that ground troops and tanks clashed overnight with Hamas terrorist cells in the northern Gaza Strip, killing dozens of militants. It was also reported that the engineering forces of the Israel Defense Forces began a large-scale operation to destroy Hamas tunnels in areas of the Gaza Strip, where IDF troops had already entered; more than 100 tunnels have already been destroyed. The Israel Defense Forces later stated that they were already operating inside Gaza City and surrounding it from several sides. Earlier, senior Hamas member Ghazi Hamad hailed the massive attack on Israel on October 7, during which civilians were killed en masse, and vowed that the Palestinian terror group would repeat similar attacks many times in the future until it destroyed Israel.
