| (32 minutes later) | |
| The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) says it is "encouraging" people to leave parts of the southern Gaza city of Rafah - where more than 1.4 million people are currently sheltering - as it warns of an upcoming military operation in the area | |
| It has dropped flyers over the eastern part of the city, and phoned and texted citizens advising them to move towards an expanded "humanitarian area" | |
| The IDF says the operation will be carried out with a "limited scope" and is "not a wide-scale evacuation" | |
| A senior Hamas official has told the Reuters news agency that this is a "dangerous escalation that will have consequences" | |
| The evacuation order comes as talks aimed at securing a ceasefire deal in Gaza, and the release of Israeli hostages, have stalled | |
| Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant told his US counterpart yesterday that "military action is required" in Rafah after a lack of progress in these talks, according to his office | |
| Overnight, Israeli strikes in Rafah reportedly killed at least 19 people, while four Israeli soldiers were killed in a Hamas rocket attack near the Kerem Shalom crossing - near one of the main crossings used to deliver aid into Gaza | |
