Israel orders Gaza families to move in first forced evacuation since ceasefire
Israeli military's evacuation of 3,000 Palestinians in Bani Suhaila marks first forced displacement since October, intensifying Gaza's shelter crisis, officials say.
- On January 20, the Israel Defence Forces issued the first compulsory evacuation orders since October's ceasefire, dropping leaflets in Arabic, Hebrew and English over the Al-Reqeb neighbourhood in Bani Suhaila.
- Local accounts describe repeated boundary adjustments of around 120 to 150 metres advancing into Palestinian-held areas since last month, while before the October truce, historical leaflet practice frequently preceded raids.
- At least 70 families in tents and damaged structures shifted westward, while Monday's orders affected about 3,000 people and the Hamas-run Gaza government reported at least 9,000 displaced.
- Humanitarian agencies and officials say the move exacerbated shelter strain by deepening displacement and increasing pressure on limited shelter areas where more than two million people live in makeshift tents and damaged buildings.
- Ceasefire terms remain in their first phase, which halted major combat and involved partial Israeli withdrawal plus hostage-detainee exchanges, while air operations and precision strikes continue.
