**Arabian Sea_Reuters:** The Israeli army on Tuesday ordered all residents of Gaza City and all its neighborhoods to evacuate before launching a new offensive to seize control of the largest urban center in the Strip, as part of a plan that raises global concerns about the fate of the entire Strip. Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee said in a post on X: "To all residents of Gaza City and those present in all its neighborhoods, from the Old City and Tuffah in the east to the sea in the west... The IDF is determined to defeat Hamas and will operate in the Gaza City area with great force, as it has done throughout the Strip." Adraee added: "For your safety, evacuate immediately via Al-Rashid Street towards the humanitarian zone in Al-Mawasi... Staying in the area is very dangerous." The Israeli army has allocated a number to report barriers placed by Hamas or attempts by its members to prevent evacuation, according to Adraee's statement. The Israeli army has begun in recent days to blow up many towers in Gaza City under the pretext that they are being used for military purposes by the Hamas movement.
