According to the Israel Defense Forces’ top spokesperson, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the Hamas organization is reportedly obstructing the movement of Palestinians trying to evacuate from the northern section of the Gaza Strip. This comes after the IDF’s announcement of potential extensive bombing in the area.

During a press conference, Hagari commented on the situation, highlighting what he described as Hamas’s ongoing mistreatment towards both Israeli and Gazan civilians. He stated, “Hamas has proven its cruelty to the residents of Israel and now it is doing the same to the residents of Gaza City.”
