STORYLINE:
The Israeli military on Friday asked civilians to evacuate from areas in northern Khan Younis and eastern Deir al-Balah in the Gaza Strip, saying forces planned to respond to rocket fire that targeted Israel.
The new evacuation orders targeted areas that were previously designated as humanitarian zones, including al-Qarara, Muwasi, al-Galaa, Hamad City, and al-Nasr.
The military said it asked resident to evacuate by rolling out flyers, SMS messages, phone calls, Arabic broadcasts, and recorded voice messages.
Earlier this month, the military ordered a mass evacuation in large areas around Khan Younis, Gaza’s second largest city that suffered widespread destruction during air and ground operations earlier this year.
Mediators trying to end the Israel-Hamas war on Friday wrapped up the two-day cease-fire talks in Doha aimed to reconvene in Cairo next week to seal a deal to stop the fighting.
In a statement, Egypt, the United States, and Qatar said talks were constructive and conducted in a positive atmosphere.
They presented both parties with a proposal and hope to continue working on the details of the implementation in the coming days.
Israel did not immediately respond and a statement from Hamas did not sound enthusiastic about the latest proposed deal.
